Denis Law in pictures: Manchester United, Scotland and more

January 18, 2025

Denis Law, Scotland’s all-time top goalscorer, has died at the age of 84.

Born in Aberdeen in 1940, he never actually played club football north of the border having been signed by Huddersfield Town at the age of 14.

Law spent a season with Manchester City in 1960-61, before becoming the most expensive British player in history to that point when he signed for Torino in a £110,000 deal.

While he endeared himself to fans with four goals in his first six Serie A games, both he and fellow recruit Joe Baker struggled with the disciplined atmosphere of Italian football and were repeatedly fined by the club.

On February 7, 1962, Baker purchased a brand new Alfa Romeo and drove Law and his brother, Joseph home from a party with all three having been listening to music and drinking whisky until around 4am
