Denis Law (Born in Aberdeen on 24 February 1940) was a legendary Scottish inside-forward, nicknamed the "King of Old Trafford", who was one of the major stars in the classic Manchester United team of the 1960s.  He began his professional career with Huddersfield Town in 1957, having been signed by Bill Shankley,  and made his debut for Scotland a year later, scoring in his first game. Law was an unlikely star, frail and bespectacled.  He soon established a reputation, however, as a resilient and aggressive player attracting the attention of Manchester City who signed him in 1960.  A year later he signed for Torino before being lured to Manchester United in 1962.  In 1963 he not only scored for United in the FA Cup Final but was also selected to play for the rest of the world against England to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the FA. Law was elected European Footballer of the Year in 1964 and subsequently contributed to United's two championships in 1965 and 1967. In 1968, United won the European Cup for the first time, but Law's knee injury meant that he  missed both the semi-final and the final.  He scored a record 30 goals in 55 matches for Scotland (a mark he shares with Kenny Dalglish, who needed 47 more games to achieve the feat) but he was so much more than a simple goal-scorer. "No other player," noted Sir Matt Busby, "scores as many miracle goals as Denis. He's the quickest-thinking player I've ever seen, seconds quicker than anyone else. He has the most tremendous acceleration, can leap to enormous heights, and is an impeccable passer of the ball."   In 1973 Law returned to Manchester City and at the end of the season suffered the trauma of scoring the crucial goal that sent his old club down into the Second Division. Law admitted later, 'I have seldom felt so depressed as I did that weekend'.  That same year he notched up the last of his 55 international caps and retired to become a commentator.  His former boss at Huddersfield, Bill Shankly once declared that 'Denis Law could dance on egg-shells'.
