Denis Law is a
Scottish former footballer who played as a forward. His career as a football
player began at Second Division Huddersfield Town in 1956. After four years at
Huddersfield, he was signed by Manchester City for a transfer fee of £55,000,
which set a new British record. Law spent one year there before Torino bought
him for £110,000, this time setting a new record fee for a transfer involving a
British player. Although he played well in Italy, he found it difficult to
settle there and signed for Manchester United in 1962, setting another British
record transfer fee of £115,000.
Law spent 11
years at Manchester United, where he scored 237 goals in 404 appearances. His
goals tally places him third in the club's history, behind Wayne Rooney and
Bobby Charlton. He is the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d'Or
award, doing so in 1964, and helped his club win the First Division in 1965 and
1967. He missed their European Cup triumph in 1968 through injury.
Law left
Manchester United in 1973 to return to Manchester City for a season, and
represented Scotland at the 1974 FIFA World Cup. He retired at the start of the
1974–75 season. Law played for Scotland a total of 55 times and jointly holds
the Scottish international record goal tally with 30 goals. Law holds a United
record for scoring 46 competitive goals in a single season.
