Same here - he will admit Best was possibly better, maybe even Charlton, but the Lawman was always his favourite

Love Denis, never saw him play but he's like everybodys favourite uncle nowadays

Denis and Paddy, red legends who in modern parlance 'get it'

How come United struggled in those days, I am assuming its around 72 maybe 73 ?? and a couple of years before relegation ?

Wasn't a bad side, Best, Law, Charlton, and Crerand, beating liverpool at anfield regularly

I think that footage is of the O'Farrell or McGuinness era what happened ?

Jaffo > you were at the match, tell us ??

Snap estimate - how much would a 19yr old Law, Best and Charlton go for in today's market, assuming Henderson is 20 mill and Carroll 35 mill?

Total? I'd plump for about 200 million.
