Law sadly died at the aged of 84 earlier this year following a brave battle with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

The former striker is widely-regarded as one of the best to ever play for Scotland and Man Utd.

Denis Law was the last of Man Utd’s ‘Holy Trinity’ and one of football’s true greats

He is his nation’s joint-record goalscorer of all-time on 30 goals – tied with Kenny Dalglish at the top of the list.

At Man Utd, he won two league titles, the FA Cup and European Cup while netting an incredible 237 goals in 404 games.

The likes of Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney and all of the Red Devils squad attended his funeral.
