When you see photos of Law at Huddersfield he was just a speccy wisp of a lad right enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I remember Law and Baxter would only pass the ball to each other when playing for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law’s instinct was to drive in at the enemy goal and have a shot. If he couldn’t make it he’d slip the ball to anyone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Bear 592 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 The story I heard was that in the 1967 Wembley game, Law was screaming to get the ball up to him as he wanted to crush England with lots of goals. Baxter had other plans. His way of crushing the opposition was to showboat and humiliate them that way. Baxter would also wind up Alan Ball by asking him is he was jimmy Clitheroe's dad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulsonic5791 408 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 A hero obviously well before my time, but to have the only Scot to be voted European Footballer Of The Year confess to being a 'Ranger at heart' gladdens my heart, regardless of whether he said it decades ago or not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsonic5791 408 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Addendum. 'one of the first results'? Would Aberdoom be the first? Am I getting carried away with the Lawman's affectionate anecdote? Can older bears set me straight - was/is Denis a bluenose first and foremost before United became his number one love? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence of any affiliation to Rangers. Always thought he was a hometown Dons fan. No evidence of antipathy either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
