Overview
Denis Law is the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d'Or, in 1964. He scored 237 goals for Manchester United, still third in the club's all-time list, and is Scotland's joint record scorer with 30 in 55 matches.
He was part of the United trinity with Bobby Charlton and George Best, though he missed the 1968 European Cup final through injury. He backheeled the goal for Manchester City that is wrongly remembered as relegating United in 1974, and refused to celebrate it.
