Sir Alex Ferguson has helped unveil a statue honouring fellow football legend Denis Law in Aberdeen.


Law, now 81, was born and raised in the Granite City but played most of his career for Manchester United.


He said he was "humbled" by the honour in his "beloved Aberdeen".


Former Aberdeen and Manchester United manager Sir Alex joined Law at the unveiling of the 4.5-tonne statue, just off Broad Street in the city centre.

Entitled Legend, sculptor Alan Herriot's bronze statue, with a granite base, shows the footballing great with his arm raised.


Known affectionately as The Lawman, he scored 30 goals for Scotland.


In August, it was revealed he had been diagnosed with dementia.

• Denis Law statue too heavy for proposed location
• Man Utd great Law diagnosed with dementia
• Denis Law receives Freedom of Aberdeen

The former European footballer of the year went to Powis Academy, before moving away to play for Huddersfield when he was 16.


He went on to play for clubs including Manchester United, Torino and Manchester City.

Speaking about the new honour, he said: "Aberdeen is my first city, I always came back to Aberdeen.


"This statue is really fantastic. I have been a very lucky guy, being able to play for your country as well."


He said his memory was not as good as it used to be, adding he was "very happy" that "marvellous" Sir Alex was able to be there for the occasion.

He was one third of what became known as Manchester United's Holy Trinity, when he played alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton during his 11-year stint with the Red Devils.


He received the Freedom of Aberdeen in 2017, and features in a new hall of heroes in Provost Skene's House, which reopened recently.


Lord Provost Barney Crockett said: "The people of Aberdeen hold Denis Law very close to their hearts and this statue represents appreciation of a local lad done good."

Great pix cannot green you just now until I've offset my flatulence emissions, never add Sri Racha to vindaloooo.

Q. Is the keeper Gordon Banks, looks like him had the pleasure to be in the same room with him fellow keeper Peter Bonetti at Geoff Hurst's pub the Sheet Anchor Baldwin's Gate a long hike home west of Stoke. Geoff also had another pub in the area forgotten the name.
It looked nowt like this in the 70s , perhaps worth a date Chitty not far from you?

7 Dec 2011 — And when his international career was over, Sir Geoff transcended celebrity and settled down to run the Sheet Anchor pub in Stoke-on-Trent.

FFS Dave, What's with all these pages of mindless gibberish?

It's nearly as bad as when Hal and Lu used to post on the subject.

It's Saturday; it's OLEgend day!



A true Manchester United legend, adored by the fans, leading the team out again. What dreams are made of!

Watford 8-1 United

^ Hals back - its Watford today - a tricky visit for the tactical genius. Fred will get a run out, Pogba will demonstrate he's worth the cost of Div one team and Martial will be no where to be seen.

One swallow has made a lifetime of summers in the Hal Household.

Is it really legendary to do something just once? Surely thats luck not legend.

Why hasn't Hal given this legend of Cardiff and Norwegian Goblin faced PE teachers his own thread yet?

A nice run of easy fixtures coming up.

Get on with this megathread post haste, you crazed olesexual.

Pogba is out for 2 months and the Bellend has mentioned giving Martial and Van de Beek more playing time.


I see a couple of good hidings today. United spanking Watford and another Salah masterclass

The sad thing is Utd will probably get their money back on that useless sack of shite Pogba.

I'm sick. Lying on the sofa waiting for James Martin to come on and wondering when I'm gonna stop shitting.

I can't do new threads while I'm in recuperation from being Chittied.

Gary Nev on his support for Ole and his "failure" to call for another human being to be sacked in public. Leave that sort of behaviour to the cnuts on the Guardian's sports desk.

'This season has been a shock and they have a horrific week coming up,' he admitted.
'The signing of some very good players adds further condemnation to these recent performances.
'I think United with this squad should challenge for the title.
'But we are in a really bad position and it's heartbreaking to watch Ole.
'For Man United fans who loved him and ex-players who still love him.

'It's not easy commentating on a former team-mate.
'I think Ole not sorting out the compactness of the team earlier was silly. It was a glaring tactical omission.
'I am happy to say that. Not good enough. But I just won't say the other thing. Not about Ole or any manager. I never have.
'I had to decide 11 years ago what type of person and pundit I wanted to be.
'When Arsene Wenger was dying at the end I was critical of Arsenal fans marching against him. There were complaints when I called one of them a muppet.
'As pundits we have to decide whether we are comfortable asking for a fellow human being to be sacked. I feel I am a respectable human being.'

For the rest of the world...Neville and Keane's utterly spineless performance over the last few weeks has been most amusing.

It's not hard to see why either ... obviously they both foresee an 'ambassadorial' role at the club in their dotage.

A laughing stock of a club, manager and deluded olesexual

Where are the Utd fans? they could have been 3 down by now

3? It could easily have been 5 or fukkin 6 nil. They've played Inited off the pitch. United have had 1 shot.

Come on Watford, stick 10 past the kunts

Hal was watching Saturday Kitchen earlier, James Martin cooking steaks. Did a decent Tomahawk - i bet Hal has used his to beat his telly, hope its not rented.

Most of them are sat in their piss stained armchairs calling for help to find the remote control as it's been flung out thee window

Fucking hell.

It looks like we're just gonna have to settle for a Champions League and FA Cup double this year.

^ fuk they need to bottle your optimism

Juve 2 - 0 Utd, after 10 minutes.

Juve 2 - 3 Utd, after 90.

Watford 2-4 United (although my Watford 8-1 United prediction from earlier is perhaps a tad more likely at this stage ).
