May 27:
On this day in 1959, 19 year old Denis Law of Huddersfield Town, earned his 3rd cap for Scotland when he played in a friendly against Holland in the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.
He had made his debut in the previous October against Wales, selected by his future Man Utd manager, Matt Busby. He scored on that occasion, at Ninian Park as the Scots won 3-0.
The game on this date was also a victory for Denis and his team mates. They beat the Dutch 2-1, with a future Town manager getting the first goal. That was Bobby Collins, who managed us in the 70s and was playing for Everton at the time. Fulham's Graham Leggett got the other, the winner after they had been one down at half time.
