My Take
Denis Law belongs to a generation I only know through grainy footage, yet his presence still leaps off the screen. A Ballon d'Or winner and Manchester United icon, he carried the swagger of a striker who genuinely loved scoring rather than merely doing a job. What I admire most is the boy-like joy in that raised-fist celebration; for all the records and the CBE, he never seemed to lose the simple thrill of the goal. His passing in 2025 closed a chapter, but figures like Law define what the sport felt like before it became an industry. A true original.
