I've made a start on the Manchester United section but didn't have time to finish it, so I've put what I've done so far here. Cantthinkofagoodname 00:04, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Glory Years

Law moved back to Withington, boarding with the same landlady that he had lived with during his time as a City player. He made a good start, scoring on his United debut in a 2-2 draw West Brom on 18 August 1962. However, United's form had been erratic since the Munich air disaster and their inconsistent form meant they spent the season fighting relegation. They found form in the FA Cup though, with Law scoring a hat trick against his old club Huddesfeild in a 5-0 win. They went on to reach the final against Leicester City. Leicester were strong favourites, having finished fourth in the league, but Law scored the first goal as United won 3-1 in what turned out to be the only F.A. cup final of his career.

[edit] The Decline

I've put the above text into the article now. Cantthinkofagoodname 13:31, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious Information

Caps and goal figures in the article likely contain European cup/Domestic cup data in addition to Domestic League data (this is very certain based on this user's previous edits containing similar information [1]. Please correct this issue and leave a note here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alfmaster#Footballers.27_European_goals, to warn this person about putting improper information on Wikipedia. --Palffy 21:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] His Name

he is found here spelt as Denis Law but his name is actually spelt Dennis

This page is my source for the ammended stats. Alfmaster has been informed.  Slumgum T. C.   22:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About career stats

Law's stats for Manchester United are almost totally wrong. Check www.stretfordend.co.uk for correct data. - Eichel-Streiber (talk) 15:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

on the main page law scores at least 3 goals for city in 1959-60. one against leeds and two against villa. In the table summary for that season only 2 goals? i checked and the villa city game was in 1961 in which the score was 4-1. I have edited the page as it previously implied the game was in 1960 by omission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.188.230.100 (talk) 11:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
