The King is the story of Denis law on DVD.
Denis Law was a phenomenal football player and entertainer, who, together with Bobby Charlton and George Best swept Manchester United to the top of the domestic League and European greatness. In fact, this wee Scot was so good that Pelé once famously said he was the only Brit good enough to play for Brazil!
The story of Denis Law is an astonishing and uplifting tale of triumph over adversity that saw a young Scottish boy from humble beginnings rise to become one of the greatest football players the world has ever seen. Amazingly, Denis Law nearly didn’t make it at all, his family were too poor to buy him a pair of boots and he needed an eye operation to enable him to see the ball properly. But it did not take Denis long to prove his potential, and he soon became the most expensive player in British football, when he signed for Manchester City in 1960 for a fee of £55,000.
He was the scorer of amazing goals, was renowned for his bravery, and had his own unique style that was filled with excitement and flair. Even today, Denis Law remains one of the most loved and admired sportsmen to have ever played the game. Bill Shankly called him “The Greatest thing on two feet”; George Best simply called him “The Greatest”; for many he will always be known as “The King”.
Including contributions from Sir Alex Ferguson, George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton.
