“They always sent Denis north of the border for the significant games and I literally travelled the world with him for European ties and also World Cups, particularly in Mexico.
“Consequently, because of the conversations we had, I felt I was almost a bosom pal, not just somebody who adored him as a punter – which I did.”
Law was 15 when he first signed for Huddersfield Town, and was transferred to Manchester City five years later in 1960 for £55,000.
A year later, he joined Italian side Torino for £110,000 but he found it difficult to settle in Italy and moved to Manchester United for £115,000 in 1962, before ending his career with City in 1974.
Law was part of the United team that became the first from England to lift the European Cup in 1968, although he missed the final through injury.
He was sold for a British record fee three times during his career.
