DENIS LAW an Icon of the 20th Century (Paperback)

As a student of Religion, and various faith belief systems, having been born in the middle of the last century, some 14 years, 3 months after the subject matter for this book, I missed the two World Wars, but was witness to the effects on society that these wars had produced. Morals went into decline. Bible principles have been slowly eroded to the point that in many Nations once thought to be Christian; the very idea of being a Christian in such nations is almost at the point of becoming illegal. The British Government has fallen foul of Political Correctness and now being a Christian is all but an arrestable offence. Even in America President Obama and his Administration are doing all they can to suppress Christians, but using Homeland Security and Anti-Terrorism Laws to bring such suppression in via the back door. Among many ways of showing you FAITH in some areas in Post War Britain we had Bingo Halls springing up, often in Church Halls that had been closed down. The Biggest Faith Conversion from Christianity in Post War Britain was without a shadow of a doubt Association Football in Post War Britain Football became the way for people to let their hair down, spend 2 or 3 hours or so forgetting the problems of their life, work and family. Now that I am a Teacher of Christian Studies, it is with the thought in mind that if Football became the major British Religion in Post War Britain, then as with many Religions there are Icons and Idols. I submit that the Post War British Icons of Football were, George Best the Irish Soccer Whizz Kid. Bobby Charlton, English Internationalist who survived the Munich Air Crash that wiped out many of the Manchester United team in 1952, and went on with England to win the World Cup in 1966 and the European Cup in 1968. The King of the football ground at this time has to be the Scottish lad who became a legend in a career that saw him play under some of the most talented football managers in Soccer's Hall of Fame. All of whom like the subject of this book were born here in Scotland. This is a book that intends to show that Denis Law, from my home town of Aberdeen, did indeed go from Lad to Legend. Denis Law is the King of Post War British Football. Therefore he is an Icon of the 20th Century.
