Statue of Denis Law - IMG_0600 - Edited

            Nestled in between the various buildings of the Marischal Square development, right beside Provost Skene's House, just off Broad Street, stands a statue of a local sporting hero.

Denis Law was born in Aberdeen in 1940 and played for a number of teams - Huddersfield Town, Manchester City, Torino, Manchester United, and back to Manchester City again, appearing in 485 club matches and scoring 227 goals over a career spanning 18 years (1956 - 1974).  During his 11 years spent with Manchester United, he became known as part of the "Holy Trinity" of players, alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton.  He also played for the Scotland international team 55 times and scored 30 goals for his country (between 1958 and 1974).

Law has been honoured numerous times as a player, including winning the Ballon d'Or in 1964, being inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002, into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in 2004, and receiving the Freedom of Aberdeen in 2017.  Not to mention several statues, including one at Old Trafford (Manchester United) and this one in his hometown of Aberdeen.

This bronze statue was sculpted by Alan Herriot, and was unveiled in 2021 by Denis Law himself, with a speech given at the dedication ceremony by Sir Alex Ferguson.  It depicts Law in his Scotland kit, rather than any of his club team kits.
