In 2008, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of United’s first European Cup win, a statue of Denis Law, George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton was put up outside Old Trafford, our “Holy Trinity”.
Sir Bobby Charlton spend 17 seasons at United, scoring 259 goals (our highest ever goalscorer), and won three league titles, one FA Cup and the European Cup. He also won the Ballon d’Or in 1966. George Best spent 11 seasons at United, scoring 181 goals (our fifth highest goalscorer, and won two league titles and the European Cup. He also won the Ballon d’Or in 1968. Denis Law also spent 11 seasons at United, scoring 237 goals (our second highest ever goalscorer), and won two league titles and the European Cup. He also won the Ballon d’Or in 1964.
We have three “Glory Glory” t-shirts from Roundball United worth $29 to give away. Post a YouTube clip in the comments section below of your favourite goal scored by Denis Law, George Best or Sir Bobby Charlton. Please make sure that the e-mail address you post under is valid as some winners from the last competition didn’t reply to my e-mail asking for their address.
