Dennis Law Biography
Dennis Law is one of the most popular and richest Scottish footballer who was born on February 24, 1940 in Aberdeen, United Kingdom. Denis Law CBE (born 24 February 1940) is an Scottish ex-footballer, who was forward. His football career as a player began with Second Division Huddersfield Town in 1956. After four years with Huddersfield He was subsequently hired to Manchester City for an estimated transfer fee of £55,000 which was a record British record. Law had a brief stay in the city before Torino purchased him for PS110,000, which was the record for a transfer of an British player. While he was a good player in Italy however, he had a difficult to settle in Italy and signed with Manchester United in 1962, making another British record transfer cost of PS115,000.
In the month of March, 1960, Law signed for Manchester City in exchange for an British record-breaking transfer price believed to be around PS55,000, but Law’s part of the cost is “precisely nothing”. Another time, Matt Busby had attempted to sign Law for Manchester United, but United’s city rivals in the cross-city battled them to the Law signature.
Although he had thought about leaving, he was playing well and in 1961 Law scored an incredible six goals in an FA Cup tie against Luton Town. Unfortunately for him, the match was abandoned with twenty minutes to go, so his six goals didn’t count. To make matters worse for him, Luton won the replay 3–1, and City were knocked out of the Cup.
He first met his wife-to-be, Diana, in an Aberdeenshire dancehall when they were both still teenagers. They married in December 1962 and went on to have five children. Their daughter, also called Diana, worked for several years in the Manchester United press office. Their other children are Gary, Andrew, Robert and Iain. They also have five grandchildren, Emilia, Isla, Ollie, James and Harvey. Denis and Diana still live in the Manchester area.
Law was not selected to represent Scotland during the 1958 FIFA World Cup, but was made debut in the British Home Championship match against Wales on October 18th, 1958, by Matt Busby, who managed Scotland on the basis of a temporary contract for two games. Law scored Scotland’s second goal during a 3-0 victory over Wales Welsh on Ninian Park. Law was a player but did not score during Scotland’s game against England on the 15th of April, 1961. Scotland lost the game 9-3. Law declared it to be the “blackest day”. While at Torino, Law continued to take part for Scotland however, the team were reluctant to let him play in international games and had inserted in his contract a clause in which they said they weren’t obliged to release him for international matches.

Law moved back to Manchester, boarding with the same landlady with whom he had lived during his time as a City player. His first match for United was against West Bromwich Albion on 18 August 1962, and he made an excellent start, scoring after only seven minutes. The match finished in a 2–2 draw. However, United’s form had been erratic since the Munich air disaster in 1958, and because of their inconsistency they spent the season fighting relegation. In a league match against Leicester City Law scored a hat trick but United still lost. They found form in the FA Cup though, with Law scoring another hat trick in a 5–0 win against his old club Huddersfield Town, and they went on to reach the final against Leicester City. Leicester were strong favourites, having finished fourth in the league, but Law scored the first goal as United won 3–1 in what turned out to be the only FA Cup final of his career. He also married his wife Diana that season, on 11 December 1962.

In the season 1954-55, Law was discovered in the 1954-55 season by Archie Beattie, a scout for Huddersfield Town, who invited the 14-year-old Law to join him to the club for a test. After he arrived the manager commented, “The boy’s a freak. Never did I see a less likely football prospect – weak, puny and bespectacled.” But, to Law’s delight the club signed him on the 3rd of April 1955. While in Huddersfield the team performed the operation of correcting his squint which greatly improved his self-confidence.
The club’s fall to called the Second Division made it easier for Law to play which he played in, and Law was first introduced on December 1956, only 16 years old, in an 1-0 win against Notts County. Manager of Manchester United Matt Busby shortly offered Huddersfield PS10,000 in exchange for Law that was a huge sum of money for a teenager player at the time and the club turned their back on it. Bill Shankly was manager of Huddersfield between 1957 between 1959 and 1957 and, when his departure was to join Liverpool the club, he planned to bring Law to Liverpool, however Liverpool could not afford Law at the time.
Although he enjoyed his time at City, he wanted to play in a more successful side and was sold to the Italian club Torino in the summer of 1961.

By April, he had put in a transfer request, which was ignored. The final straw for Law came in a match against Napoli when he was sent off. After the match, he was told that Torino’s coach, Beniamino Santos, had instructed the referee to send him off because he was angry at Law for taking a throw in, which he had been told not to do. Law walked out, and was told that he would be transferred to Manchester United. A few days later, however, he was told that he was being sold to Juventus and that the small print in his contract committed him to going there whether he wanted to or not. He responded by flying home to Aberdeen, knowing that Torino would not get a penny in transfer fees if he refused to play at Juventus. He eventually signed for United on 10 July 1962, for a new British record fee of £115,000.
On 7 February 1962, he was injured in a car crash when his teammate Joe Baker drove the wrong way around a roundabout and clipped the kerb as he tried to turn the car around, flipping it over. Baker was almost killed, but Law’s injuries were not life-threatening.

An incident took place that season that Law felt had repercussions in later years. In a match against West Brom on 15 December 1962, the referee Gilbert Pullin consistently goaded Law with taunts such as “Oh, you clever so and so, you can’t play”, and after the match, Law and his manager Matt Busby reported the matter to the Football Association. A disciplinary committee decided that Pullin should be severely censured, but he did not accept their verdict and quit the game. Law later claimed that “in the eyes of some referees, I was a marked man” and blamed the incident for the “staggeringly heavy punishments” that he received later in his career.
Law scored a number of goals early in the 1963–64 season and was selected to play for a Rest of the World side against England at Wembley, scoring their goal in a 2–1 defeat. He later described this as the greatest honour of his career. His season was interrupted by a 28-day suspension for a sending off that he received against Aston Villa. The unusually cold winter forced United to play many of their fixtures in a short time, and their results suffered. Law later blamed this for United’s failure to win a trophy in that season. Despite the lack of silverware, Law enjoyed a prolific goalscoring season and finished the campaign with 46 goals in all competitions, still a club record today.
