Law was capped 55 times by Scotland, he became the first and to date only Scot to be named European Footballer of the Year in 1964 and although injury denied him a place in the final of the 1968 European Cup final and the sides famous victory over Benifica, he remains one of the most popular players in United’s history.
The 1963 FA Cup victory over Leicester City was his first taste of success but greater things were to come as the Red Devils claimed the old First Division title 1965 and 1967. Law scored 29 goals in 44 games in his first season with the Red Devils.
