The United Trinity

The United Trinity outside Old Trafford Stadium

We mourn the loss of Denis Law, the third player of the triumvirate of Manchester United, or as they are better known as the United Trinity. The other two are George Best, who died in 2005 at the age of 59, and Bobby Charlton who died in October 2023, aged 86.  Denis Law was 84 years old and played 309 games for Manchester United and scored 171 goals. He also played 55 games for Scotland and scored 30 goals. George Best played 361 games for United between 1963 and 1974, scoring 137 goals. He also played 37 games for Northern Ireland, scoring 9 goals. Bobby Charlton played 606 games for United scoring 199 goals. He also played 106 games for England and scored 49 goals. Since they were of different nationalities, they often played against each other  in their respective national teams, Law being Scottish, Charlton being British and Best being Irish. But they were obviously best of friends. Outside Old Trafford Stadium is a bronze state of the three of them, George Best on the left, Denis Law in the center, with hand raised and Bobby Charlton on the right. Denis Law played also for Manchester City and Huddersfield Town for a few matches, as well as Torino in Italy. In total he played  458 games and scored a total of 227 goals for all 4 clubs.
