One of Manchester United's greatest-ever strikers Denis Law has revealed he has been diagnosed with dementia.
The 81-year-old, who hit 237 goals in 404 games for the Reds, said on Thursday that he has Alzheimer's and Vascular dementia.
The Old Trafford legend and Scotland footballer says he will no longer be able to sign items for fans but will continue supporting his club and the Denis Law Legacy Trust.
His former United team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton was diagnosed with the condition last year.
