Denis Law is undoubtedly Scottish football's favourite son. He is
joint top record scorer for his country with an impressive strike rate
of 30 goals in 52 games and scored in the famous 3 - 2 win over world
champions England at Wembley in 1967. As well as his prolific strike
rate, he was also part of the Scotland team that won their way through
to the 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany - the first time the
Scots had reached the finals in 16 years. In this unique portrait of
Denis Law, which is the first book solely devoted to his illustrious
international career, Alex Gordon interviews a vast array of former
teammates, including Willie Henderson, Davie Hay, John Greig, Pat
Crerand, Tommy Gemmell, and international opponents such as Gordon
Banks, George Best and Bobby Charlton. Denis Law was the showman
supreme. He was more than a mere goal scorer whose cavalier thrusts
and menacing darts brought panic to opposing defences. Law was an
inspiration to those around him at club and country level and to
younger generations of fans everywhere. Team-mates adored him,
opponents feared him, fans revered him. He was a free spirit, an
extrovert, a complete one-off, a rare combination of impudence and
intelligence, class and clout. Denis Law is, was and always will be
The King.
