This man was a brilliant player. To me, nobody better. When Pele comes out and says that he's seen the greatest player in George, you know how great he was.
The complete footballer. As a boy brought up in Belfast during his greatest period I was able to identify with him in many ways. He was playing the game with Manchester United as though he was still on the streets of Belfast
He wasn't a footballer. He was a magical elegant graceful vision on muddy English winter fields. He didn't run. he glided and floated. he didn't dribble. He danced swerved and feinted. he didn't kick the ball. He caressed it. He was the Beauty in the game. The Jogo Bonito. He was by a mile the greatest of all.
@@arnold-hu4vk He is the GREATEST player to have ever played the beautiful game as it was but now it has descended into something else and not for the good!
Tavy@ that was brilliant to watch and really sad. I thought i was going to cry there. The music was perfect to that. George best was the greatest entertainer i have ever saw on tv. And that includes every sport and the world of show business. George said the floodlights were is spot light and the park was is stage! Hes the only player that gets me on the edge of my seat, and you never tire of watching him play. I cant believe i have never saw this video before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P GEORGE
When George best dribbles any defender, the defender cries and says 'please give me the ball' .he can destroy any defender in the world. Greatest dribbler of all time and greatest player.
1st May 1971 - Blackpool vrs Man Utd - 7 yrs old - the day I witnessed genius and told my Liverpool supporting dad, 'I've just seen the best in the world, going to have to support Man Utd now... sorry'... 52 yrs later.. still love the man.
George . left foot , Right foot , great header of a ball , could tackle, dribble , amazing pace , could shoot , show me someone with all that in ther locker today ? . One of the greatest footballers of all time
@@Mikeb1001 I am assuming you mean the Brazillion Ronaldo? Perhaps, he was a great both footed player, with amazing pace, a great shot and was a great dribbler. However, I think Messi is far more similar to Best (although Best was better with his weaker foot)
He was one of the greatest football player on earth. It showers me cold when I see them standing there, holding flyers and give G.B. the memory he deserved. R.I.P. George "simply the" Best Reverent greetings from Munich, Bavaria / Germany
There have been many, many great players in football but has there ever been anyone who has been loved by men and women equally as George Best was ? He was the first football superstar who came from the UK and the word Genius was made for him. The most exciting player Ive ever seen. God bless you and thanks for lighting up our lives George !!!
tavy class of 89: george was the greatest showman ever seen on tv. no 1 could match him and never will. r i p bestie and thancks for bringing so much joy to millions of people the world over!!! a total joy to watch!!!!!!!!!
Chris Clarke The greatest allround player ever! Nobody compares to George Best. The 60s really were the glory days for football and Best was the king of the world!
I'm the same age as my first hero George when he died.....I remember the feeling when he retired for the first time ......football went on but for a brief time was silent.....RIP
He played in an era where men were men. When the tackles came in, they came in hard. The pitches were far from perfect like now, yet he glided as if on air. He was without doubt the best footballer I have ever seen. If he could have beaten the Demons, he would be alive today. Not to be, but we have him on film forever.
bestie was more than a great footballer he was a popstar player sort of bloke we all wamted to be or be around. all lads from that era had a soft spot for george no matter what team
i watched his funeral tho im a scouser.....one of the greatest ever.....like connie Nielsen said in the film Gladiator thats playing in this.....remember him. there wont be another......
I find some words here disrespectful to George, he had everything in his locker , forget the rubbish off the field I only remember 1 Goerge Best , the football genius, who was 1 of the very best I have seen him play at Man Utd, & Fulham FC, we never will ever see a player like him and never will, thank you I loved every moment of your short life , you were simply the Best Bestie , RIP George & to your Dad & Mum God bless you all ....
Just the way he Ran from all the defenders like it was a easy thin.g he was One of those you never forget god bless you George went to se Play indoor wiht fulham it was Just a fun Game .but know om proud to have seen you .and as a dane knowmatter how much i Love the80tes Danish Team .they will never be in My Heart as you Prince of footbald
George, you were 1 in a million my friend. never again will we see such a hardworking attacking player as he. effortlessly taking it round dazed defenders. forget pele forget diego forget eusebio. george was 20 times better than all of them

George Best, simply the best! During my school days in the 70s in a faraway country Malaysia, our main hobby is kicking a football.Every one of us wants to emulate George Best ! Mind you those were the days we were able to watch English football on replay only once a week !
@@arnold-hu4vk He plays in an era where the pitches are like lawn bowls greens and the footballs like beachballs he wouldn't last 5 minutes in the 60's and 70's when people were allowed to tackle.
As a wee boy growing up in Glasgow as a Rangers fan, George Best was my favourite footballer even above my beloved Rangers team, and he still is to this day and i'm now 57, he will never be bettered, forget Pele Messi ,Ronaldo, it was the Belfast boy, god bless him, only Gazza and Laudrup come close

Gone but not forgotten. George was in a league of his own. The greatest player that ever lived, bar none. A genius. Blessed to have seen him.
What a joy to have witnessed greatness. Heart warming.❤
A football genius with charisma in bucket loads...

Never tire of watching this video of George Best “he was a magician with a football” of that there is no mistake.

Simply the best player I have ever seen
My idol from the age of 9 and I’m 65 now.Only saw him play once but and he was god to me.
George was a brilliant player. I saw him play against wba a few times.
Unbelivable skill a true legend.

Great video with great music, thank you. R.I.P. George.
"Best of the Best" the greatest
Watched him play against Arsenal was Simply the Best. Will miss him he was a joy to watch.
that goal he scored in the states, in a fit of anger at the ref, wow.
It wasn't exactly Beckenbauer and Baresi defending, though
The ref made a decision what George didn't like so he got even
George Best...RIP sunshine...
