Denis Law remains one of the greatest names ever to have graced a football stadium. He personified the spirit of Manchester United during the sensational sixties and of course he breathed the fire of Scotland in the furthest corners of the world. Denis Law became a legend as he played and remains a legend today. In this highly charged and amusing memoir, Law takes us through the various - often controversial - steps of his phenomenal career and reveals how he really felt when he scored the goal that sent his favourite team into relegation. But more than that, Denis talks about the fire that still burns within him, the wish that he was still pulling on those famous United and Scotland shirts. He talks about life as television pundit, travelling to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and the frozen wastes of Siberia just to give his opinion on a football match. And he talks about today's game and in particular about today's Manchester United. One of the most popular and charismatic figures ever involved in football, Denis Law also reveals his serious side, his brushes with death and his hopes for the future. This is not just a football story, it is the unique tale of a unique world star. At times he shoots from the hip - but then what else would you expect from The Lawman?

In the 1960s, Denis Law was the king of Old Trafford. A goal-scoring genius, Law attacked the game (and the occasional opponent) with a dedication and enthusiasm which held his legions of loyal subjects in devoted awe. The deadly triumvirate of Law, George Best and Bobby Charlton swept opposition from its path, and led Manchester United to win the FA Cup in 1963 and the League in 1965 and 1967.Born in Aberdeen in 1940, Law played his first professional game for Huddersfield in 1956. He moved to Manchester City before being among the very first British players to play on the continent of Europe, joining Torino in 1961. It was in August 1962 that Law moved back to Manchester, this time to United, for a record transfer fee of £115,000. He immediately won the hearts of the Old Trafford crowd by scoring twice in his début game. Many more goals were to follow: 160 in 222 matches, many of them spectacular, all of them executed with Law's trademark panache.Law was European footballer of the year in 1964 and went on to win 55 caps for Scotland. Many of these were titanic clashes with the Auld Enemy, England, including the now legendary 3-2 defeat of the then World Cup-holders at Wembley in 1967.The King tells the story of an Aberdeen boy who rose to the very pinnacle of footballing excellence from humble beginnings. Packed with hilarious and revelatory behind-the-scenes stories and peopled by Law's fellow football legends like Matt Busby, George Best and Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law's book takes the reader back to the game's glory days. In so doing, we learn why, to his legions of fans, Denis Law was, and will forever remain, the King.

When Denis Law signed for Manchester United from Torino for a British record fee of £115,000 in 1962, even at the age of 22 he had already established himself as one of the world's great forwards. No wonder his arrival at United sparked a revival in the club's fortunes, as they won the FA Cup in his first campaign. In his second season, 1963-64, he scored 46 goals - a club record that stands to this day - and became European Footballer of the Year. He then helped United to league titles in two of the next three terms, delivering 39 and 25 goals respectively. Now, having reached 70 years old, Denis looks back on his remarkable career and reflects on both the highs and the lows from his time on the pitch and beyond, as captured in lavishly reproduced photographs, many of them in full colour. Denis Law: My Life in Footballis a book no true fan of football can afford to be without.

The son of an Aberdeen trawlerman, Denis Law was the most deadly striker Scotland has ever produced. He made his debut for his country at just 18, and was immediately on the scoresheet. It was the first of 55 caps spread over a period of 16 years that would see him go on to be his country's all-time record goalscorer, an achievement only equalled since by Kenny Dalglish, and be a part of Scotland's 1974 World Cup campaign. Fans idolised him, because he was not only an unmatched inside forward, he would give his all for the cause of his team. Now, having reached 70 years old, Denis looks back on his remarkable career and reflects on both the highs and the lows from his time on the pitch and beyond, as captured in lavishly reproduced photographs, many of them in full colour. Denis Law: My Life in Footballis a book no true fan of football can afford to be without.

This is the fascinating story of the rise of Manchester United FC at the end of the 1950s through the 1960s, after the Munich air disaster had sadly wiped out a lot of the great players of the 1950s. The team was rebuilt and great players such as Bobby Charlton and George Best formed the core of the team whose domestic success was exceptional and whose greatness culminated in them becoming the first English team to win the European Cup. This is a fascinating tale, told by 2 of the players who were at the core of the team.
