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 breathed the fire of Scotland on to football pitches worldwide.Born in Aberdeen,due to his tremendous talent as a young footballer he declined to follow his peers on to the fishing trawlers.His career began in earnest as a player for Huddersfield Town and the legend unfurled as he moved to Manchester City,Torino and then Manchester United,where he spent the majority of his fantastic career at the top of the soccer ladder. In this highly charged and entertaining 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.He uncovers the fire that still burns within him and his wish that he was still pulling on those famous United and Scotland strips.He talks about life as a television pundit,travelling to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and the frozen wastes of Siberia to give his opinion of a football match.He also deliberates on today's game and in particular on today's Manchester United (then 1999). One of the most popular and charismatic figures ever involved in football,Denis Law 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?
