    RIP another of the legends of our game. Way before my time but from what I've been told and seen on you tube he was a great player

    Bill Shankly said if he ever had to pick a player to score a goal in a game to save his own life he would pick Law.

    Can't get much higher praise than that as a professional footballer.

    So good that Dennis Bergkamp was named after him by his father. RIP

    One of the best strikers that Britain has produced and a cracking bloke to boot.

    Had the pleasure of his company a few times in the Cactus Bar in Vilamoura. He was very good friends with one of my drinking buddies over there.

    RIP Lawman!

    I got his autograph at Roker Park, sadly long since lost. Me mother was a terror for decluttering.



    Sleep in heavenly peace, Dennis
