Denis Law, footballing legend played for many teams from Huddersfield to Man Utd(where he formed a lifelong friendship with George Best) and played for the Scottish national team.

Both him and George Best came into a pub I used to frequent, he had a soft drink and stayed in the shadow of his rather more outgoing buddy and was content to ensure George’s well-being…the sign of a true friend!
A gentleman indeed!

The Band has aged well with me like an old flannel shirt. I consider The Last Waltz to be one of the few music movies that is essential.
