Manchester United legend Denis Law dies, aged 84

Denis Law, the only Scottish soccer player to win the Ballon d'Or, has died at the age of 84, as announced by his family in a statement released by Manchester United.
Law was a key player for Manchester United, helping the team win multiple titles, including the European Cup in 1968 and scoring 46 goals in the 1963-64 season, a record for the club.
He scored 30 goals for Scotland in just 55 games, matching the record set by Kenny Dalglish, and famously scored Scotland's first goal against England after their 1966 World Cup win.
Law was awarded a Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 2016 for his contributions to soccer and charity, and he battled dementia before his passing.
