Denis Law 09:03 - Jan 22 with 460 views

I was very sad to hear of his death, played in the first Saints match I saw live, January 15th at the Dell in the FA Cup 3rd round against Man Utd, exactly 53 years and 1 week ago today.

Back then 30,190 packed the Dell for a 1-1 draw, United had Denis Law, George Best & Bobby Charlton in the side, so understandably they were still a big draw.

Mind you Saints had Mick Channon, Ron Davies & Terry Paine, so we had our own Holy Trinity on show

Law & Best didn't score but Bobby Charlton did in a 1-1 draw

Law's career started before i was born and was at it's peak before I watched my first match, but he was a genuine legend who crossed the divide of all football fans, even those that didn't support the teams he played for.

He played in the first game I saw live too. I was living in Ipswich at the time and Law, Best and Charlton played for Man U against Ipswich sept 1970 . Despite my dad being a massive Saints fan he took my brother and I along to Portman Road. I was 9 .

Ipswich won 4-0 against all the odds.

My first saints game was Derby at the Dell 1971 and was hooked on saints from then on .

RIP Denis Law.

Poll:

Would you take an Fa Cup win if it meant relegation to the championship ?

Scored the goal that beat us in the 1963 FA Cup semi Final at Villa Park, when we were a Second Division team
