Denis Law, the iconic former Manchester United striker and the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d’Or, has died at the age of 84, the club confirmed on Friday.
“It is with a heavy heart that we tell you our father Denis Law has sadly passed away. He fought a tough battle but finally he is now at peace,” the Law family said in a statement, via the club. “We would like to thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing and care, past and much more recently. “We know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made the difference. Thank you.
Law was awarded the Ballon d’Or in 1964 after scoring a club-record 46-goals in the 1963-64 season for the Red Devils, in addition to scoring 11 goals in seven appearances for his country and scoring a goal for the Rest of the World side against England in the Football Association Centenary match at Wembley in 1963. “The whole of Manchester, including everyone at City, is mourning with you. Rest in peace, Denis.
