00:30Old Trafford, joining us to pay tribute to Dennis, are his former teammates, Harry Curran,
00:49Brian Kidd and Alex Downing. And of course, his great friend Sir Alex Ferguson.
01:19And now, please be silent for the reading of a poetic tribute to Dennis, which will be followed immediately by a period of applause.
01:37A warrior born of Scotland's land, who rose to rule with a master's hand.
01:44The shepherd end his loyal throne, where Dennis Law made greatness known.
01:51The lawman struck with poise and grace, a predator's instinct, the perfect pace.
01:59With every goal, the terraces sang, his name on their lips, the anthem rang.
02:06A flick, a volley, a header supreme, Dennis turned football into a dream.
02:14The king of Old Trafford, fierce and true, in red he saw the world he slew.
02:22Yet beyond the goals, the man stood tall, a heart of gold that inspired all.
02:30Though trophies shone, his pride was clear, for the fans he played year after year.
02:38Now time has passed, but memories stay, the legend of law won't fade away.
02:46For every chance, for every friend, he's still the king of the Stratford End.
