Denis Law was the last surviving member of the fabled United Trinity. Together with George Best and Bobby Charlton, he helped to rebuild Manchester United after the Munich Air Disaster threatened to destroy it.

Mr. Law led Manchester United to two titles in the 1960s and was the first Scottish player to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

The former United and Scotland footballer's family said Law died aged 84 on Friday. In tribute, the club played Flower Of Scotland ahead of their Premier League match against Brighton, before Sir Alex Ferguson and club legends laid a wreath.

The Law Man was quicker on the trigger than Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, or Doc Holliday. Aye, he was extra special, a swaggering lethal sharp shooter who lit up football across the great divides of club and country.

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.

Law, a two-time league champion with United and part of their 1968 European Cup-winning squad led by Sir Matt Busby - the first English team to lift the trophy - passed away on Friday at the age of 84. Law, who won the Ballon d'Or in 1964 and remains the only Scotsman to do so, also earned an impressive 55 caps for Scotland.
