It's actually Denis with only 1 N though. The reason this sticks in my mind is that Dennis Bergkamp has said in the past that he is named after Denis Law but the Dutch authorites would not accept the name Denis with only 1 N.

One of the real characters in football in the 60s and 70s. One of the all time greatest British footballers. And with Best and Charlton formed one of the greatest forward lines the game has ever seen. One of the few to held in equal high esteem on both sides of Manchester. a true Legend.

What happened to that conveyor belt of great Scottish talent we saw in the 20th century? Did they just stand still while the rest of the world caught up and overtook them? Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

All these footballing hero greats of past days, with this horrible disease. Hopefully one day something can prevent or totally slow down the deterioration at the very least. My dad used to mention Denis Law in the old football days. I see when he was at Huddersfield, Bill Shankly was there manager, we played them 6 times, winning 3 and losing 3. I've found the Grimsby Town players who scored against them, Maddison, Reeson, Scott, Evans, Rafferty (2), Cullen (2), I guess Law played in most of those games, I wonder if he scored h'mm? .

My uncle John (RIP) was there that day, and quoted Gerald Sinstadt ‘Denis has done it’ sporadically, at family get togethers & Christmas’s as a kid.
