4. Denis Law

At the club: 1962 - 1973

Appearances: 404

Goals: 237

Honours: 2 x First Division; 1 x FA Cup; 1 x European Cup

Balon d'Or winner in 1964 - the year in which United won their first title since Munich, and he finished top scorer in the First Division with 28 goals - the 'Lawman' was the greatest striker in United's long history. His goalscoring exploits are legendary, and in that Balon d'Or winning season, he hit a quite incredible 46 goals in all competition - a record that still stands today.

A player who could make the entire ground stand up in anticipation when he went near the ball - deadly in the box and capable of some spectacular finishing, he was superbly nimble and possessed the kind of quick feet that made the great Bill Shankly once remark "Denis Law could dance on eggshells"

As a player, he was a complete forward and Sir Bobby Charlton summed him up when he said -"Denis was fast, arrogant, tough, skilful, sharp, good in the air and it all just boiled down to a fantastic player. He was magic."

You don't get nicknamed "King" for nothing, do you?
