For any faults or failings he may have had, there was awlays something so endearing about George Best. His battle with booze is well documented but his warm personality shines through every time.
There is nobody to compare to George as a footballer an absolute Genius.I hope he is resting in peace.I for one will never forget him.MOT with the rest of the greats we have lost.
He looked well here. Possibly the last time he did so. He was a handsome man, blessed with Irish charm and astonishing footballing ability.
Keith allan, your probably right. Going into the 1990s he looked a bit older and had put on more weight. In 1991 i saw him in a charity game and he looked about 14 stone. Wich is heavy for a guy at 5' 8"05 tall.
Northern Irish charm..
@@scoop2963 he was talkin about Terry Wogan 🤣🤣🤣
@@scoop2963 IRISH CHARM. George described himself as Irish and said there is 32 countys in the island of ireland and he predicted it well because in the next four years there will be a UNITED IRELAND!
don't know what you're seeing cause he just looks like the same crackhead to me
Super George ....The ultimate defenders nightmare ..God Bless ..(Liverpool fan )
George looks so healthy here despite being in the grip of severe alcoholism . 20 years later he dies from the illness…God bless him and his wonderful talents on the field , what a magical footballer !! ❤️⚽️
healthy? he lowkey looks retarded, indenial some of these fans, these lies are probably why he's dead, you idiots telling him he's great, morons
I admire how he can take criticism for his faults and failures and not even break his smile or lose his train of thought.
My thoughts exactly after watching this. What a truly honest man. Respect to him.
watching from australia, regardless of his football skills, he seems a very genuine intelligent human being
The kids of today need to watch as much of George Best as they can.. An Absolute Genius on the pitch.
i had the pleasure of meeting him before he went to jail it was at a sports shop in london and it is a memory i will never forget
that afternoon in the 1980s there was not many of us in there but to have a 1to1 with a legend george was a honour to be in his company there was only one george best r.i.p
George was born a Star so much chrisma Irish Legend

Wish you were still here. What a player and what a lovely fella.
He was the best R.I.P George .
My mum & dad died when i was 29 alcohol poisoning. My twin brother died at 35 ended his life because of what we went through growing up as children. Rip 💫🤍🦋
My brother was a raging alcoholic who died at 42. God Bless you big brother x
It’s a pity there wasn’t the kinda help they have today back then. George best is by far one of the greatest footballers ever
One of the greatest football players ever.
@@mariawilson9026 One of
@@SphericallyChallenged What´s your point, my friend ?
@@interestedobserver2582 The "one of" should be emphasized. I'm from Northern Ireland and can tell you he isn't THE greatest like a lot of people suggest.
@@SphericallyChallenged Correct. One of the best, but nowhere near the best. I think a combination of his name (Best), the era he played in, his image, and the fact he played in England have contributed to some saying he's the best. Seriously, there have been very many players of greater ability, intelligence and success i.e. De Stefano, Maradona, Pele, Garrincha, Ronaldinho, Messi, Cruyff and so on and so forth.
George was as hard as nails on the park. He could take all the brutal real hard stuff and still stay on his feet running to then take the ball round the keeper just to make them look worse. No one today could do what that man did and took and could win most 50/50 balls becouse he was fearless!
He did it his way ! ❤🙏
He looked so good here. Damn shame how things ended up for him.
A legend interviewed by a legend.
I loved seen him play football every time he got the ball it was exciting. We dont see that anymore..
Tavy@ he looks really fit and healthy here. Its hard to believe he died with drinck. But he was the greatest entertainer i have ever saw on tv. And that includes all sports and show business. What a talent. R.I.P GEORGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
drinck? :)
He must have been as hard as nails and brave to ship the tackles.
The greatest footballer ever.
Wogan showing mock sympathy while taking the piss at someone else's expense. George Best always admitted he was an alcoholic, his mum was an alcoholic. The fact that he was able to play like he did speaks volumes as to the man he was.
his dad stopped, so maybe he got it from both
Called Irish humour...get over it
Legend 👍🏻
What a fine looking fellah. Such a waste; alcohol is a truly brutal mistress. I've seen it in my family and I've seen it in my work. The worst thing about it is that it creeps up on its victims very, v-e-r-y slowly indeed in full view of just about everybody. Alcohol is quite literally a weapon of slow destruction.
You was my dad’s idol and now he’s resting or probably playing football with you the best football play to ever step on to a football pitch the pitches today are like bowling greens not like cow field
Probably the best he ever looked (no pun intended)
So sad, he never did beat the demon drink
Really sad that he didn't stop drinking because he spoke intelligently !
What a waste of a life.. Talented and charming..❤
no are you mad
Doing the after dinner speaking circuit was probably the worst thing he could have done - little chance of doing that without drinking back in the day
The interviewer is a bit of a prick. George was one of the greatest of all time. The pride of Ulster.
The interviewer was Terry Wogan a highly respected BBC employee for years a brilliant and funny interviewer he had a great wit so did George.
He was crying for help and nothing was available.(I guess)
It breaks my heart hearing him acknowledging his fate and he was seeking a way out. But he couldn't. Society was different and he was still way ahead of his time.
He had it all
I watched him the other day doing a dinner with Rodney Marsh, apparently they toured a bit. He was seriously funny, everybody as good as a pro comedian. His intelligence stood out.
I never knew him of course, but it is documented that he was a lovely, generous person. Top bloke. Sod the demon drink.
He is the greatest British player from the 60s onwards by some margin, I saw him play many times, and never badly.
He's Irish
@@Dsk-zn1yj He's from Northen Ireland,hence he has a British passport and his nationality is Northern Irish/British. Sorry to burst you bubble.
@@Dsk-zn1yj Northern Irish (and Protestant). Whether you like it or not, a UK citizen.
@@johnnyoranges Presbyterian. I believe
@@Dsk-zn1yj protestants from Northern Ireland don't consider themselves Irish.
Oh george what a waste of a life.😔 so talanted and gorgous looking.xx💖💖
@belfast jack Thanks for the upload. I never saw this interview. When did it take place ?
couldn't find it either--80's
The answer is a ship is not a ego a person sees not own the products . The shop is a store a measure of a quoat tpa ration
I’ll say this, it was better than his 1990 ‘performance’ on Wogan
He was SO pretty, wow. So sad he struggled with alcoholism.
Agree.
A bit like George Michael.
So sad.
Good looks don't necessary make people happy.
i think that was part of the problem
Muhammad Ali and George Best. The best looking lads of the 60s
@@jamesi2018 What do you mean exactly ?
the man lived a full life,no regrets
he looks like a movie star...
Justin trudeau
So does George!
RIP from Manchester 1 mile from your old house.
I grew up with Terry Wogen loved him. Rip both of you 💫🤍🦋
Tavy@ apart from georges genius as a footballer hes one of the funniest men i have seen. He was a laugh. And couldv been a good stand up comedian, in a way he did do that when he started doing the after dinner scene where he made alot of money believe me. He could command 3 to 4 thousand pound just for one dinner and he was some times doing 2 dinners a day. Well the first one between 1 and 2pm is a luncheon and between 6 and 7pm is the dinner. He would sit at the top table with maybe 300 other people most well known, then after dinner he would stand up and say a few jokes about football for only 5 minutes. But he didnt like it, becouse he was shy. So he preferd and open question and answer set up. Where some one would ask him a question like who was the best defender you played against and so on. He found that easier. And it is. If he had one to many some times he would maybe stray to far but still make them laugh. But with jokes you can only go so far then you run out of jokes. Or being funny. But he was a really funny guy.
My dad was best mates with Billy Bingham. Billy offered George a spot on the Northern Ireland team for the World Cup in '82 but George said no -- he couldn't get fit in 3 months. Bloody shame. He could have if he'd tried.
George said in interview at the time it would be unfair to take a place in squad of a player that helped N IRELAND get to world Cup so declined
@@grahambrandon2600 I think was a bit of a cop out... he didn't want to work his butt off to get in shape in time.
If there's a biopic ever made about him, Nicholas Hoult should play him.
👍👍 interesting.
Way too tall
Such a pity he died soo young only 59, my uncle died 3 years ago, he died the same way George died with the liver, he was a alcoholic, he was only 59 when he went into hospital, died 3 weeks after his 60th birthday
Poor awl Georgie...he still wanted to sort himself him out in these days. The wee stint inside did him no harm. He's as fit as a butchers dog here.
His name was Best and he was,
Sad watching back these interviews and even watching the brilliant player he was, today what would his value be ? Only Pele and Cryuff at same level
Baller
George ALways remember You are the BesT' BEEN THERE it gets EASIER George gotta know what is BEST for You' ONCE You figure it OuT life Improves.
he died 2005 I think
Life is all memory
I drank, before I went in to the army, perfected there. Falklands, norn iron, gulf, jugoslavia. But I beat the drink ten years after I got out. The only problem with drink, is ADMITTING you’re the problem. 😎😎😎
Wogan taking the piss here ! No wonder George got his own back years later by appearing on the live show blitzed ! What goes around ...and all that ..
No way you fucked up that green screen lmfao
My liver feels like Georgie right now
George had a terrible problem which ruined his life - alcoholism. Surely it should not b e treated so lightly and flippantly as here.
It's wrong to say no help was available. He spoke of how he went to AA, but said in interviews "how can I be anonymous?" That was arrogance getting in the way of his recovery, because there are far more famous people than him who have found recovery in AA. And no, I won't name them, but people who are famous throughout the entire world, not just in some countries.
Jude law could play him
Nah Nicholas Hoult is more appropriated.
pissed as a fart ...
Its a drug....dont blame him.
Exactly…not a disease as people keep saying…you can’t transmit it to anyone else
Alcohol isn't a drug at all
@Grichka Bogdanoff Alcohol is a food it has Vitamins you nit wit
@Grichka Bogdanoff don't you think fame has shown over and over to be worse when you get it very young?
Lol sad we can never shame old school players no matter what sin they committed comes out to the public
I love George best but I hate the way everything is a little antidote for him to tell and you can see why he never got clean just because of that! It's kind of pathetic really at that age still thinking what drugs has done to him is funny! It's amazing that he lasted so long being on the strongest and most dangerous drug of them , the one that affects every part of your body and long with benzos can kill you when trying to stop, alcohol is by far the worst drug and every doctor will tell you the same. No other drug makes you blackout, violent, sick, physically ill the next day. Like a doctor told me a paracetamol is more dangerous then opiates legal opiates not the stuff people have to take on the street which is like moonshine that people had to take when alcohol was banned! Crazy world we live in ,most lethal drug legal and you can go to prison for having opiates which is less harmful longer then someone who hurts children! The powers are messed up people and very sick
What did go to prison for
Not only did he fuck up his own liver, he decided that he'd fuck up his donor liver...
All people that need a liver donor have done it to themselves, it's nearly all self inflicted, could be diet, not enough water, smoking and just not looking after self. Nearly every illness is self inflicted and alcoholics should be top of the cue as drinking is legal and nearly everyone tries a drink and they don't know they are going to be affected by it so strongly that they can't stop. Could happen to anyone
@@dondamon4669 No it wouldn't happen to everyone.
Most would have grabbed the 2nd chance with both hands, he grabbed at another bottle.
This is the **** that took the piss out of drug addicts.
The one thing i didnt understand about george was he said there "thats the problem i dont ask for help when i fall down and thats the one thing that anoyes me" but every one needs a bit of help at times in there life no matter who you are, we all need friends and a bit of help. And george has had lots of help from friends.
weird you should say that--I just saw an interview of when he was 50 and he said the exact same thing about not needing people to help, wishing he would have done different
On top form was better than messi and ronaldo for me just didnt last long enough other greats do it every season
Fearless Drunk! Totally selfish
Has the hair locked the addiction
Tbe
Alcoholism isn't a disease. It's an addiction. You can choose to drink too much but that doesn't mean you have a disease. It just means you love booze and you are greedy.
I know right! It's simple! "Just say no" it's crazy that so many people die from it still when you can choose to stop! It's like skitzophrenics saying they hear voices, can't they just not think them or are they stupid? Or depressed people how silly are they! The only solution is to never ever ever try a drink because you don't know if you can stop or not till you have a drink so coz addictive people have different brain chemistry they should test people at legal age to see if they have an addictive gene as it's proven . It's not a choice you wally! It amazes me when people think they know more then people that study it all there life's 😂 are you angry at cancer patients as well as nearly all cancers are self inflicted, or people with diabetes or people with Hart problems?? You do realise nearly every health problem is self inflicted?? Or are you that sheltered and dumb to reality!
@@dondamon4669 you are good thank you
@@dondamon4669 good person
Wogan is always condescending & smug.
Typical alcoholic, "Yeah I did the wrong thing but I still feel I was harshly treated..."
Oh little man shut up...we have all made mistakes, I am sure you have had issues working minimum wage at KFC
you will never understand
George best wasn’t British he was Irish northern Irish and that sell out terry Wogan was Irish too
Wogan was from the Republic. Bestie was from NI and therefore British!!!
Hello I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪
And it won’t be long before the north is back we’re it belongs the older generation of hard liners are all dying off and younger generation don’t care and then when it comes down to the vote north and south will be as one
@@PP-xg1je You may very well be right and personally I hope it does happen however Bestie was proud of being British. He wasn't in 2 minds like Rory McIlroy.
Best was British, from Northern Ireland, part of Britain. Why was Wogan a sell out, for working in England? So people should only live & work where they are born?
Not a fan, just came to laugh at an irish cliche.
horrible idiotic thing to say/do...
The facts are that he became a violent wife beater when he was drunk. Pele could've run rings around him. Good old feel sorry for me george best.
so sorry to hear that--did he go to jail for it?
The facts are you're a f/i hater. George clearly states he never once asked anyone for help or to feel sorry for him. You pathetic little f/g cretin, you then attack his football when even Pele himself said George was the most talented player he'd ever seen...It just shows the level of your indignant hatred for someone you don't even know. I pray that you never encounter any troubles yourself in your life..
not sure how he can be a role model to anyone, should be used in a talk to frank add for how to not be a mug
