Dennis Law

[A Quiet Monkfish]

I’m over exaggerating here, but Dennis Law was maybe the reason for the closest my mum and dad came to divorcing. He was a real favorite of my mums, more so than George Best and Bobby Charlton, but my dad couldn’t forget that tackle on SrEve Gammon was it (I was too young to have seen it) and he would argue back at her all the time.

I remember Law as a very exciting player even if he never really fully overcame the injury which forced him to miss the 1968 European Cup Final and it was one of the biggest football ironies I’ve seen that he scored the goal that sent Man United down in 1974.

RIP

I was too young by a couple of years also, but like others on here have mentioned, my Dad told me he could hear the leg breaking. I remember almost as soon as I was aware of him my Dad put me straight !
