Denis Law

[Tommy]

Sadly announced that he has dementia.

[OddJob]

Very sad news. My folks met him a few years back and said he was an absolute gentleman.

You've met him? 

[Dick Pullar]

From the tv interviews I’ve seen he’s a decent guy who doesn’t thole fools. It’s Aberdeen City Council I despise for sooking up so much to him just because he lived here as a child. Let’s face it he left Aberdeen at the first opportunity to better himself. Nothing wrong with that but it doesn’t entitle you to Freedom of The City. You should stay and work in the city to merit that. So nice guy- I’m sure he is, but You get the impression The Council would put up a statue to anyone successful with the slimmest of links to the city. Annie Lennoxis another one that comes to mind. Undoubtedly there will soon be a statue to her, I mean she’s female for goodness sake, there has to be a statue therefore.

My granny knew Dennis Laws mother and said she was a mink.

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

He hasnt lived in Aberdeen since about 1956 ffs. Freedom of the city indeed!

[RAZOR]

Statue going up today at Marischal Square.

Can't be many cities with 2 statues of someone.

[King Street Loon]

He not a hun?

“Aberdeen has a good club but the city’s most talented sons, like Graham Leggat, Adam Blacklaw and Ian Moir, have found it necessary to migrate in order to cash in on their ability.

“I was ever a player, seldom a watcher, but I always paid to see Glasgow Rangers whenever they visited Pittodrie Park.

“Whatever my club may be, Rangers will always be engraved on my heart because in so many ways Rangers are Scottish football.

“An offer from Rangers would have been the one thing that might have stopped me from going to England in the first place.”

What a massive embarrassment this is 

 

100% should have been Willie Miller who CHOSE the city and committed his life to it.

Agreed. Tear the fucking thing down and replace with one of God. 

[aberdeen1970]

Aye. Denis already has a statue at the entrance to the Sports Village. That's plenty. 

A statue of Willie holding aloft the cup winners cup is the one needed here.

That is not good if true.

[Guest milne_afc]

Is there any appetite for tearing this monstrosity down and tipping it in the harbour? 

[don corleone]

I think in the current climate that a statue of a local sporting icon taking the knee should replace this monstrosity. I vote for Neil Simpson showing us all how it should be done.

I'm sure the hilarious Glesga banter of putting a traffic cone on his heed will be the order of the day for the students.
