Yes just been informed. A cracking player in his day. Grand old age to reach, RIP Sir.

Former Scotland, Manchester United and Manchester City striker Denis Law - the only Scottish player to have won the Ballon d'Or - has died at the age of 84.
The man dubbed 'The King' and 'The Lawman' spent 11 years at Old Trafford, his 237 goals in 404 appearances placing him third in United's history behind Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton.
Born in Aberdeen, Law began his career with Huddersfield Town, also had a spell in Italy with Torino and was capped 55 times for his country - his 30 goals making him Scotland's joint top scorer of all time.
He was sold for a British record fee three times during his career.
In 2021, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
A family statement said: "It is with a heavy heart that we tell you our father Denis Law has sadly passed away. He fought a tough battle but finally he is now at peace.
"We would like to thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing and care, past and much more recently.
"We know how much people supported and loved him and that love was always appreciated and made the difference. Thank you."
Manchester United said everyone at the club is mourning the loss of "the King of the Stretford End".
They added: "He will always be celebrated as one of the club's greatest and most beloved players.
"The ultimate goalscorer, his flair, spirit and love for the game made him the hero of a generation.
"Our deepest condolences go out to Denis' family and many friends. His memory will live on forever more."

Denis, once a record signing for ?53,000, passes on the day we hear that another Manchester player signs a record contract for a reputed ?500,000 a week.

He didn't play many games against the Millers, but I remember him missing a sitter (header) in the 1966 cup-tie at Old Trafford.

Thanks for the many memories.

Sincere condolences to Denis' family and friends.

I feel privileged to have been alive when he was playing and gracing football pitches with his undoubted skill - thanks for the memories Denis - one of the greats

Had the honour of watching him at my first ever away game at Old Trafford in the '66 FA Cup tie. Fabulous striker, intelligent and humble - a great advert for the game. RIP and thanks for the memories.

Exactly this. My first away game too. Law Best Charlton Stiles Connelly etc.
Never forget his last minute back heel for Man City in 1974 which relegated Man Utd. You could tell he was gutted but he was just doing what he does/did best.

Thanks for the memories.

My schoolboy footballing hero. And like someone said on here, humble with it. I once saw him miss a sitter at an away ground but it was impossible to take the mick because he himself just burst out laughing. Brought flair and joy to the game. RIP.
