"I don't want to talk about football but about the man," said Di Buckley, Denis Law's daughter, towards the start of her wonderful speech at his funeral.
It is easy to understand and appreciate that. As majestic a footballer as her father was, his human qualities were those that deserved to be remembered most fondly at Manchester Cathedral on Tuesday afternoon.
Anybody who ever spent any time in the company of a man so revered by so many, would know just how completely unaffected by fame he was. Remember we are talking about somebody whom Sir Alex Ferguson, during his reading, admitted he was in awe of.
