At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

Eric Davidson, a fan who visited Law's statue in Aberdeen the day after he died, said the footballer meant a lot to people in the city. "When you're playing football at primary school, all you wanted to be was the second Denis Law," he said.
