Jim WhiteGUEST
April 1974, Manchester United are playing the team... that used to be known as Manchester City.
Jim WhiteGUEST
Dennis Law had left Manchester United, gone to City.
Jim WhiteGUEST
United had to win, otherwise they were in trouble.
Jim WhiteGUEST
It wasn't the result that sent them down, but other results conspired against them.
Jim WhiteGUEST
Dennis Law back-heeled.
Jim WhiteGUEST
and the Reds fans decided they were going to invade the pitch and have the game postponed.
Jim WhiteGUEST
Unfortunately, I was with the father of a friend of ours who'd invited us along, and we were also sitting high up in the stands, and I wanted to go down on the pitch and invade, but A, I was too scared, and B, I was too far away, and C, it made no difference anyway.

Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And even they were, well, personally, I think McAllister was a great player.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But the days of Dalgleish and then going back even further to Dennis Law and Jim Baxter.
Jon HolmesHOST
Crerand.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Crerand.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But the thing is, if those clubs were producing terrific players with whom the crowds could identify as in the old days, where at least, you know, Rangers got Baxter from Ray Trovers and he played at Ibrox for his 10 best years.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
something like that.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay, Dennis Law came down when he was a kid, but Kenny Dalgleish was a star at Celtic and so on.
Patrick BarclaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In a previous episode, we talked about Ron Yeats and Ian St. John.
Harvey ZemmelGUEST
They bring in the old foot- the ex-football players.
Harvey ZemmelGUEST
They bring in memorabilia, the programs, and then these guys and gals re- just transport themselves to 1963, and Man City v Un- Man United, and Dennis Law, and whoever, or Alan Gilzean for Tottenham.
Harvey ZemmelGUEST
And, and it, a- and, and it just transports them to those places.
Harvey ZemmelGUEST
And, and they're in that moment.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
Yes.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
It was Kenny- Yeah ... and, uh, Denis Law, of course.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
Yeah, 30 goals.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
30 goals.
Andy MittenGUEST
And you missed out in the final.
Andy MittenGUEST
Dennis Law maybe have been higher had he- Mm, I was gonna say ... missed a few key games, Dennis Law.
Andy MittenGUEST
European Cup final of '68.
Andy MittenGUEST
So unfortunate, isn't it? Yeah.

Alex RaePANELIST
go.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
Uh, and, uh, th- th- that was the, the, the fight that was in me.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
And my dream was to play for Scotland, and Denis Law was one of my big football heroes.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
I got quite a few football heroes, but I would say Denis is n- uh, number one.
David TannerHOST
Denis had a few tricks.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
And I'm behind the goal, and probably f- 14 years of age, and I'm watching behind the goal, and he scored two goals in front of my eyes.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
And that just, woof, just give me an extra, an extra push.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
But little did I know that six years later I would be kicking the ball off at Wembley to Denis Law, my, uh, one of my heroes.
Jim McCalliogGUEST
So-
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
We'd be sitting up...
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
We'd go into the troon to record Naked Radio, and I'd be sitting out with a big map and my script, then William McIlvanney and Dennis Law.
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
And, uh, on the back of that, it was his idea.
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
He went to the then head of BBC Scotland Radio and said, Stan- a guy called Stan Taylor, and said to Stan, he said, "Look," he said, "I've got this idea to do a spoof of Only a Game, and I'll write it along with, with Ian and Bob, and I'm gonna get Johnny in it.
8 MINS LATER
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
I think I can do Kenny Dalglish." Uh, I'd...
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
If it was me I'd, I'd get Dennis.
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
I can do Dennis Law, you know? So these are ones...
Jonathan WatsonGUEST
More recently, uh, just at the tail end of the program I'd said, "I think I can do Jürgen Klopp," you know?
