  The son of an Aberdeen trawlerman, Denis Law was the most deadly striker Scotland has ever produced. He made his debut for his country at just 18, and was immediately on the scoresheet. It was the first of 55 caps spread over a period of 16 years that would see him go on to be his country's all-time record goalscorer, an achievement only equalled since by Kenny Dalglish, and be a part of Scotland's 1974 World Cup campaign. Fans idolised him, because he was not only an unmatched inside forward, he would give his all for the cause of his team. Now, having reached 70 years old, Denis looks back on his remarkable career and reflects on both the highs and the lows from his time on the pitch and beyond, as captured in lavishly reproduced photographs, many of them in full colour. Denis Law: My Life in Footballis a book no true fan of football can afford to be without.

  When Denis Law signed for Manchester United from Torino for a British record fee of GBP115,000 in 1962, even at the age of 22 he had already established himself as one of the world's great forwards. No wonder his arrival at United sparked a revival in the club's fortunes, as they won the FA Cup in his first campaign. In his second season, 1963-64, he scored 46 goals - a club record that stands to this day - and became European Footballer of the Year. He then helped United to league titles in two of the next three terms, delivering 39 and 25 goals respectively.
