How do u know it

[@aroemaliuged4776]

As a Scotsman, it’s hard to put into words just how much Dennis Law meant, not only to the football world but to all of us who take pride in our heritage. Dennis was more than just a footballer-he was an embodiment of everything we hold dear about the Scottish spirit: resilience, passion, and a love for the game that burned in his heart. Watching him play for Manchester United, you couldn’t help but be in awe of his skill, his poise in front of goal, and his ability to lead with quiet authority. His goals were poetry in motion, whether it was a delicate chip, a powerful strike, or that iconic backheel against the old enemy, Manchester City. He didn’t just play football; he elevated it to an art form. But what made Dennis truly special wasn’t just his talent-it was his pride in being Scottish. He carried our flag with dignity every time he stepped onto the pitch, whether representing his country or wearing the famous red of United. Dennis was a man who knew where he came from, and that was something you could feel in every stride he took. He made us all proud. As we say goodbye to a legend, I find comfort knowing that his legacy lives on, not just in the record books but in the memories of everyone who had the privilege of watching him play. Dennis Law was, and will always be, a part of the fabric of Scottish football. Rest easy, King. Your place in our hearts and in the game will never be taken.

[@robertmclellan3658]

Err the back heel was against united while he was playing for City which relegated united.

[@johnpaul0647]

Had the pleasure of seeing Dennis Law in the twilight of his career, playing for Manchester City against Saints at the Dell in 1974. He was probably the oldest player on the pitch but easily the sharpest. He scored a great goal and I’m glad I got to witness his talent.

Fantastic player, true icon, Dennis THE king. But also fantastic pundit, as a boy I grew up listening to him on Saturday afternoons football commentary on radio. His warmth , humour and insight were as high a standard as his playing. What a man.

Met him in the 60’s when I was a youngster. He used to visit Bristol City player Gorden low, so we were lucky enough to meet Dennis Law in the summer. He was absolutely fantastic with us kids, something I’ve never forgotten. A true legend and a great, kind man!
