1964 Ballon d’Or winner and Manchester United legend Denis Law dies aged 84

At 84, Denis Law bowed out this Friday. The Scotsman, 1964 Ballon d’Or and Manchester United legend, was also the oldest winner alive. It is now the Italian Gianni Rivera, awarded in 1969, who takes up the torch. “It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our father Denis Law has sadly passed away. He fought a difficult battle but he is now at peace,” the family said in a statement shared by United.
