3. Manchester United 0-1 Manchester City – April 27, 1974
This game begins and ends with Denis Law. Denis Law started at City and then played for United for 11 years. After United, he came back to City and was playing for City in this game. Man U needed to win in order to avoid relegation and Law dropped the dagger on a backheel goal. Law felt horrible thinking that his backheel goal sent down the team that made him a legend that he didn’t celebrate and walked off the field. Law retired from the game, never to play again. United fans rushed the field as a result and the match was stopped. The score stood and Man U would get relegated that season.
