Rod Stewart shares heartfelt memories of Denis Law, celebrating their friendship and the football icon’s legacy after his passing.
Edinburgh: Sir Rod Stewart is heartbroken over the loss of his friend, Denis Law. The football legend passed away at 84, and Rod is feeling the weight of that loss.
Rod shared a sweet photo of them together from 1998. They were both wearing Scotland jerseys and looked so happy. He wrote, “Farewell my hero, rest in peace.”
Even though Rod was born in England, his roots are in Scotland. His dad grew up in Leith and Edinburgh, so he’s got that Scottish spirit.
Denis was a true football star, scoring 30 goals for Scotland. He and Rod were close friends for years. Rod always called him the “best football player” and a “legend.”
When Denis was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia in 2021, Rod encouraged him to “hang in there.” It’s clear how much he cared.
Denis was the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d’Or, which is a huge deal. He earned the European Footballer of the Year award in 1964, scoring 46 goals for Manchester United.
Other football legends, like Sir Kenny Dalglish, have also shared their condolences. Kenny said, “Thanks for the great memories. My hero.”
It’s a tough time for everyone who knew Denis. His legacy will live on in the hearts of fans and friends alike.
