Heir to Law's throne
By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer
Law and Van Nistelrooy - scorers supreme
Denis Law is the original King of Manchester United - but Ruud van Nistelrooy
is the rightful heir to his Old Trafford throne.
Van Nistelrooy's Champions League strike against Stuttgart on Tuesday equalled
Law's record of 28 European goals for Manchester United.
The records are both remarkable and a tribute to the goalscoring skills of two
strikers who have already written their names into Old Trafford folklore.
Indeed, in his new autobiography, "The King", Law says: "Ruud has impressed me
immensely.
"When he first came to Old Trafford I thought he was excellent. He is another
I would like to have played alongside as he gives the team everything.
"He chases lost causes and balls that are going nowhere. He always seems to do
something with it once he has chased it down."
Ferguson hails Van Nistelrooy
Van Nistelrooy is equally complimentary: "I am proud I have equalled a player
like Denis Law. I hear a lot of stories about him, how good he was.
"I respect him so much, what he achieved and the way he is. I have seen some
tapes of him. But I only have to look at his record - that says enough."
But Van Nistelrooy's European goal record has the edge, coming in only 30 games,
whereas Scotland legend Law took three games more.
All Van Nistelrooy's goals have come in the Champions League, whereas a portion
of Law's came on what some might say was the less testing stage of the European
Cup Winners' Cup and the Inter Cities Fairs Cup, now known as the Uefa Cup.
The odds are now on Van Nistelrooy beating Law's record in this season's
Champions League campaign.
He didn't just act as if it was his ball - he acted as if it was his stadium
Pat Crerand on Denis Law
Van Nistelrooy's header against Stuttgart was a finish which had a touch of Law
about it, the towering leap and arched back as the keeper was beaten.
When the comparisons are set to one side, Old Trafford has been fortunate to
witness two great strikers in their prime.
Aberdeen-born Law, now 63, arrived at Manchester United in 1962 for a British
record ￡115,000 fee from Torino, via Huddersfield Town and Manchester City.
It was an investment the great Sir Matt Busby never regretted.
Indeed, such was Law's legendary status that Old Trafford even forgave him for
scoring Manchester City's goal that sent United into the Second Division in
1974.
Law won an FA Cup winners' medal in 1963, scoring in the 3-1 win against
Leicester City, and was crowned European Footballer of the Year in 1964
MAN UTD'S EURO HITMEN
28 goals: Ruud van Nistelrooy
28 goals: Denis Law
22 goals: Bobby Charlton
20 goals: Paul Scholes
19 goals: Andy Cole
19 goals: Ryan Giggs
19 goals: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
15 goals: David Beckham
As his former United team-mate Pat Crerand said: "He didn't just act as if
it was his ball. He acted as if it was his stadium"
Law added championship medals in 1965 and 1967, but suffered the biggest
disappointment of his career in 1968 when he missed United claiming the Holy
Grail of the European Cup against Benfica because of a knee injury.
He scored 227 goals in 481 league matches in style that measured up to Van
Nistelrooy - and is still Scotland's joint record goalscorer alongside Kenny
Dalglish with 30 goals in 55 games.
Law was slight, but traded on razor-sharp reflexes, an uncanny ability to hang
in the air, and had an edge of fiery flamboyance that made him a legendary
figure at Old Trafford and beyond.
With his long-sleeved shirt gripped in his fist in a trademark style, Law
terrorised defences both physically and in a football sense, and was blessed
with lightning pace.
"The King" returns to Old Trafford
Van Nistelrooy is not as colourful a figure as Law but, like the Scot, comes
to life in and around the penalty area and has a complete game, as proved by
his brilliant creativity for Ryan Giggs' goal against Stuttgart.
He may be more of an old-fashioned centre forward, but he possesses Law's
predator's touch.
The 27-year-old arrived at Old Trafford for ￡19m from PSV Eindhoven in 2001,
after starting his career at Den Bosch.
It was a triumph out of adversity, because only a year earlier he failed a
medical at United, then suffered a serious knee injury immediately after his
return to Holland.
But Sir Alex Ferguson was in constant touch and it was time well spent.
Van Nistelrooy is fast and light on his feet for a man well over six feet tall,
powerful and has the natural gift for goals that Law possessed.
The facts tell the Dutchman's tale - 95 goals in 122 matches, with 59 league
goals in only 81 games.
The comparisons can be regarded as unrepresentative of two truly unique strikers
but one thing is certain - they would have made the perfect partnership.
