As a child who was always kicking a football around, my idol was Dennis Law, the picture of that acrobatic scissor kick was typical of him. Add the predatory deadly goalscoring, ( think Ruud van Nistelrooy - but better ) and that just about sums him up.....It was really sad that he was injured for the Benfica champions league final.....dont think we would have needed extra time to win it if he`d played.

What a fantastic forward line we had. Charlton, Best , Law. All 3 having won European footballer of the year awards. I doubt that any other team ever will be able to boast 3 strikers all having that honour at the same time!. Law was a goalscoring machine in the penalty area, Charlton had a blistering shot from 30 yards in, and Georgie Best could dribble past a whole defence, not once but twice before scoring....Add the pace of winger Johnie Aston, David Herd who was a goalscoring machine like Law, ( sadly injury shortened his career ), and young starlet Brian Kidd, and its no wonder that Bobby Charlton once said that United went into every game confident of winning. If they ( the oppositon ) scored 5 past us, we were capable of putting 7 past them....or words to that effect.......

I wish that I could have seen him play during his era. It never works trying to fully appreciate a player retrospectively. No doubt about his place in the history of the club though. Law is one of a number of legends who helped to enrich the history of Manchester United and make it the club it is today.

To clarify the myth Denis' back heel goal in 74 did not get us relegated we were fcked already. Loyal servant for UNITED will always be revered as part of the holy trinity

PVAD really likes this it was his last kick too SAL if im not mistaken

MISS those days Sal the days when old trafford was really rocking with atmosphe no matter where we were in the league

Useless information, I'm EXACTLY 40 years younger than Denis. Both born on February 24th.

Great set of pics.....really brings back some memories....Really tragic that very little footage remains from those halcyon days.

I was 13 when I watched the European cup final, and have to admit that I wept tears of joy after the extra time win. Georgie Best`s goal where he dribbled round the keeper, Brian Kidds`s double header and Bobby`s clever clip in. Awesome!

Talking of Georgie Best, can anyone remember that game against Sheffield Wed, ( I think), when Georgie dribbled by about 7 opponents ( no lie ), and then slid it in past the goalie. Totally unbelievable! And the time when he purposely took a boot off and held it in his hand and still dribbled past a defender with ease for the umpteenth time.....or the time when playing for N Ireland against England when he came from behind Gordon Banks as he threw the ball into the air to kick it up field and hooked his foot on the ball and swept round and scored, only for the ref to disallow it and I think book him for ungentlemanly play.....Priceless!
