@@FraserFoster-u3f Celtic fans voted for Jinky as Celtic's best ever player, not Dalglish, if I'm not mistaken. Imo Law is certainly the best player that Scotland ever had. His record is much superior to that of Dalglish who was a fellow striker so it's a fair comparison! Law scored the same number of goals in half the number of games for Scotland!

I was at his debut in August 1962 my first game at Old Trafford and of course he scored .From the first minute I saw him I couldnt take my eyes off him and from that moment onwards he was my hero. I am noe 72 and not ashamed to say he is still my one and only hero. God bless you Denis the King

Great content.What sad times to be Utd Supporter,my uncle was the 1st Disabled Supporter allowed in back in the 50’s and they used to park his wheelchair by the centre tunnel if you remember him always had a red beret on? He took my brother in the sixties and then myself in the early 70’s. I packed in my ticket about 6yrs ago but it never leaves you,been lucky to get many invites and I’ve gone to lots of games since but it’s dreadful and mis managed from the Glazers and I’m keeping it clean on that subject. I hope to God that INEOS can have success but it’ll take years and I for one am not a fan of Ten Hag.

Denis said Jimmy was the best and Jimmy said Denis was the best. The two of them would have walked into any team of any era. The great players of today are fitter but not better. Denis and Jimmy had like other greats (Pele, Maradona and Cruyff) to cope with brutal tackling, and sodden and bone hard pitches. They didn’t have the medical support / facilities, they didn’t have the diet knowledge, footwear and of course fitness techniques. I wonder how the Haalands of today would have coped then when Chopper Harris, Jack Charlton, Dave Mackay, Ron Yeats and Bill Foulkes for example came calling never mind the Italians, Argentinians, Uruguays and Germans who had a good number of ‘enforcers’. Denis is the King, now and always will be. My favourite player when I was a boy and still my favourite player now coming up 60 years later.
