No, now you get players who are apparently the 'greatest of all time', never mind now, going up to opposition managers after they win and arguing with them, cupping their hands to their ears, making them look like a bigger clown than they already look with their long shorts and short legs.
@@countbasi4680 the managers deserved that tho. Constant misbehaviour from staff and disrespect from various players, they deserved much worse than just a mockery from the undoubted goat. Poor class and clownery from the Holland side

Such meaningful history cannot be forgotten, its beautiful really the comeback story with Charlton, Law and Best. A horrible disaster that was redeemed.
George Best once said (ten years after the 1968 European Cup final) “This is easy. This is wonderful. I had expected to win at least two or three in the next six years but I didn’t expect this to be just the one.”
RIP Bobby Charlton. Players can oly podium. European Cup legends and 250 gols. Best players in the world at that time playing that night. football legend of world cup 1966. You will forever be a Manchester United legend and will never be forgotten ❤💛❤💛❤💛❤ 🏴🏴 From Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵
I remember this as if it were yesterday, back in the days before football tribalism. Everyone, as the commentator says, was behind United - and I say this as a Liverpool fan of 55 years standing. That team played the kind of football that any football fan - regardless of loyalty - couldn't help but appreciate; and it was managed by a true gentleman of the game. Magnificent!
Stole all 3 especially the last 2 watch Celtic winning it most one sided final in history WE WERE FIRST WE CONQUERED WE WERE PIONEERS BEAT UTD 4 nil aswell in 68 pre season friendly because we were the best in Europe stil imo
From an Italian football fan, big Premier League 80s - 90s passionate.. How many incredible box to box midfielders Great Bretain had in football history! Bobby Charlton, Souness, Kennedy, Bryan Robson, Hoddle,Brady, Wilkins, Ince, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Keane, Strachan, Whelan, McFadden, now Rice, Bellingham, Mctominay
I watched this match live in 1968 on a black and white telly. Didn't realise Utd played in blue! I recall Utd fans singing 'Eusebio and we say Kiddo' to the tune of the Beatles' You say goodbye and I say hello!
watching this in the midst of our club's chaotic performances in 2024.... what a breathe of fresh air seeing the busby babes win the european cup so confidently! here's to hoping our club can turnaround soon......
Out of all the sports I feel like football players hold up the most historically sure everyone is more athletic today with modern everything but what some of these historic players can do would still be magical today
Amin Ahmed So is my son.. They are beginning to look good under Van Gaal.. But i think Moyes should have been given the time that Alex Ferguson was given to build his team.
So do I, you never know how good Moyse´s team would look after a couple of years. However i think LVG is the better man for the job more experienced and and knows how to manage a top club like UTD to glory
Estudiantes de la Plata, lo venció al Manchester ganándole la copa Intercontinental, gran equipo el Manchester, pero el campeón del mundo del año 1968, fue Estudiantes de la Plata de Argentina..❤😊

Its amazing to think that best only scored 1 goal against england and 1 goal against scotland in the 8 years he played against them! But its well known best scored a brilliant goal at hampden against scotland in 1969 as the ball came to him at 90mph like a shot and george was about 15 to 16 yards out but in the rain soaked hampden he just controled it with his phy and let it drop to then put it into the bottom corner. The referee thought there was no way any player could have controled a ball like that to let it drop to then slot it home. He said best used a hand. If you watch it again its clear best didnt use a hand when he brought it under control, it is one of the best goals i have seen at hampden. In the way how fast the ball came at best? It was like a shot, it looked too low to be a cross. And that would have won the game at 2-1 as best set up the first goal. But he ran them ragged that night again. And the famous goal against england at belfast in 1971 when gordon banks went to kick the ball up field and as he threw it into the air george struck like a viper and knocked it over him then the two of them chased it like two school boys in the play ground with banks trying to pull best back, but best got to it first then headed it into the net! "NO GOAL" said the referee, but didnt clearly know why? As he didnt see what happend as he ran up field with his back to play wich is pathetic. The ref has to run backwards to watch the play at all times! He did admit later on thats why he didnt allow it becouse he never seen what happend, thats pathetic. But thats how bad refees were in those days, they were like amature refs and thats an insult to amature refs as so many were brilliant and better than these old lazy fat cats. But i would advice you to watch the whole of the 1968 european cup final and you will really see why george best is the greatest ever. The way they kept trying to kick him off the park, and the way best just dancend past them with ease. And the way he showed he was the greatest at dribbling, as pele could dribble but never with the simplicity as best did and how best had total control not just with the ball when beating men but also over his own body. And the way he went round the keeper in extra time took so much courage to do that alone and at a time when most had nothing left in the tank. Then that goal gave them that boost that made them run riot. Maradona could dribble like best, and is the second greatest i have seen!

Here, after reading "Living the dream" chapter from Best's biography, it seems so good watching this after reading it from his perspective. What a history made❤️❤️
The number of times the narrator said “soccer”. Why do us Americans get so much grief for calling it that when the Brits invented the term? Also the way that rival fans got behind United to win the Cup you would never see today with the tribalism infecting the sport.
For nearly a hundred years after it was coined, soccer was an accepted and uncontroversial alternative in Britain to football, often in colloquial and juvenile contexts, but was also widely used in formal speech and in writing about the game.[8] "Soccer" was a term used by the upper class whereas the working and middle classes preferred the word "football"; as the upper class lost influence in British society from the 1960s on, "football" supplanted "soccer" as the most commonly used and accepted word.
I rate best man u player on commitment and dedication and desire for me that's sir bobby charlton and bryan Robson they made man utd the team they are today george best cantona are the best in skill level yes dont beat they two for me
