Manchester United and Scotland legend Denis Law, known as "The King," dies at 84, sparking heartfelt tributes.
Manchester United and Scotland great Denis Law has died at the age of 84, sparking a wave of heartfelt tributes to a man known at Old Trafford as "The King".
Law was a member of United's European Cup-winning side under Matt Busby in 1968, when they became the first English club to lift the trophy, though he was injured for the final.
Capped 55 times by Scotland, he remains his country's joint all-time leading scorer with 30 goals alongside Kenny Dalglish and is the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d'Or, in 1964.
Law -- part of the famed "Holy Trinity" at Old Trafford alongside Bobby Charlton and George Best -- was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia in 2021.
His death was confirmed on Friday "with a heavy heart" by his family, who said "he fought a tough battle but finally he is now at peace".
"We would like to thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing and care, past and much more recently," the statement added. "We know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made the difference. Thank you."
Law scored a total of 237 goals in 404 appearances during an 11-year spell at Old Trafford until 1973, which places him third behind Wayne Rooney and Charlton on United's all-time list.
