Denis Law, the Manchester United and Scotland great, has died. He was 84. The death of Law, who also played for Manchester City, was announced in a statement from his family that was released by United on Friday. Law is forever linked with Bobby Charlton and George Best, the three-pronged strike force that led United to English league titles in 1965 and '67 and the European Cup in 1968 — a first for an English club. Law, Charlton and Best would be voted as European footballer of the year and win the Ballon d'Or in a five-season period from 1964-68. They are united in a statue at Old Trafford. Law's 46 goals in the 1963-64 season remains a single-season record for United.
