Denis Law, the legendary icon of Scotland and Manchester United, has died aged 84.
Law, known as “The King” and “The Lawman,” enjoyed a career that spanned several decades. He began his professional journey at Huddersfield Town before moving to Manchester City and then Turin in Italy.
In 1962, Law joined Manchester United, where he became a club legend. His 237 goals for the club place him third on the all-time goalscoring list, behind only Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton.
“It is with heavy hearts that we tell you that our father Denis Law has sadly passed away,” the Law family announced in a statement.
“He fought a tough battle, but he is finally at peace now.
“We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to his well-being and care, both in the past and much more recently. We know how people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made a difference. Thank you.”
Everyone at Manchester United is mourning the loss of Denis Law, the king of Stretford End, who has died aged 84.
Our deepest condolences to Denis’ family and many friends. His memory will live on forever more.

A key member of the legendary 1968 Manchester United that won the European Cup, Law’s impact on the club and Scottish football is undeniable. He also enjoyed success with the Scotland national team, scoring 30 goals in 55 appearances.
Law was awarded the Ballon d’Or in 1964, in recognition of his exceptional talent and contribution to the sport.
After his retirement, Law remained involved in football, devoting his time to charitable endeavors and serving as a respected figure in the game. He was made a CBE in 2016 for services to football and charity and has been honored with statues at Old Trafford and Aberdeen.
Manchester United issued a statement expressing their sadness at the news of Law’s death. “He will always be celebrated as one of the club’s greatest and most loved players,” the club said. “The top goalscorer, his talent, spirit and love of the game made him the hero of a generation.”
