nikmar Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 In this case the term "hero" is used as it should be used and not just as some sort of label. I read that he helped save Bobby Charlton and a couple others from the plane wreckage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickG16 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 R.I.P. Obviously never watched him at the time, but I am interested to hear what kind of goalkeeper he was from anyone who did? He was Northern Irish, so I guess he might be another Brit who could have walked into the England team, like George Best and Ryan Giggs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post champers Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 As a player he will be remembered for when Nat Lofthouse shoulder charged him over the goalline in the 1958 FA Cup Final and the goal was given. A lifesaver in the Munich air disaster and a hero in the truest sense of the word. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 RIP. Mentioned this once before. My old man, He's in his late 80s, reckons that Denis Law before he went to Italy is the best player he's ever seen in a City shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a young kid my cousin....avid City fan....took me to the pre-season friendly City V Torino (part of Denis,s transfer deal from City to Torino) I was captivated by Denis....when he signed for United in 61/62 that was it for me...now a lifelong Red and Denis will always be my number 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
