denis law - the king
“Sport played a very important part of my childhood and I firmly believe that the experiences and enjoyment that kids get from physical activity will stay with them forever.”
Denis Law came from humble beginings growing up in Aberdeen to then play at the likes of Old Trafford and the even the World Cup.
Denis played for Huddersfield Town, Manchester City, Torino and Manchester United and became the greatest footballer that Scotland has ever produced; an icon of the game revered and loved throughout the football world.
Nicknamed ‘The King’ by fans for his glittering career at Manchester United, Denis Law is still the is the only Scottish football player to have won the prestigious FIFA Ballon d’Or.

our activities
From Streetsport to Club 10, Denis Law Legacy Trust delivers a range of free to access doorstep programmes and activities focused around community engagement and widening participation.
Our flagship programme Streetsport, ran in partnership with Robert Gordon University, prioritises prevention through intervention and diversionary tactics to support disadvantaged communities by providing free to access sport and creative activity directly into their communities.
"So many people complain that kids don’t play outside anymore, and that there is nothing for them to do".
"Streetsport is the perfect antidote to that; the Cruyff Court Denis Law is a stroke of genius and its impact is undeniable" - Pride of Sport Judging Panel.
