    George Best. The most NATURAL FOOTBALLER of my age, no one near his ability. No daft tricks, he didn't need them.

      Rowdy, spot on mate. George just did the businness, and when he was on form there was no one else like him and no player in the world could stop him by fair means or foul. I have always rated george as the greatest ever. George was a supporters joy. I remember watching him against west ham utd in 1972 but it was in 1996 i think on a video tape of footballs great players, and it showed about 12 minutes of that game and i was a bit suprised when the commentator said "and fans have been queing up since 7am this morning to see this match at upton park becouse of george best" and i had never ever heard that before. Becouse in there last game at old trafford sure george tore west ham to bits with that brilliant hatrick he got to win 4-2. But the game ended 2-2 at upton park and george scored a good goal that day. But at the start of the 1972,73 season i couldnt believe how much george had lost his ability and speed in just 5 or 6 month. It was hard to believe with a player with all that skill and how quickly he had lost it. It happend so quick. A mean 6 month isnt a very long time. But i heard he just about didnt train at all in those months and drank more! But he was still only age 26. It was sad as hell to watch.

      Edmund power, total crap, and messi has got it so much easier with no tackling hard or from the back. Plus messi plays against wimps. Put messi in a world cup against the best teams in the world and he just hasnt got what it takes. World cups are so much harder. Exept if your maradona who won it almost himself in an average team. Even pele didnt do that. He had a brilliant team. And messi is past it now to win a world cup, so there you have it.

    • @alanmctavish4802
      @alanmctavish4802 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rob, george best was better than pele. Trophys mean nothing. Trophys just collect dust. In 1971 alone george absolutely tormented gordon banks by scoring at least 6 brilliant goals against him and had him scrambling about in the mud in at least 3 of those goals. George could beat a player at speed then just stop dead on the spot with the ball. I watched him against spain in 1970 and i couldnt believe what george was doing to these guys lol it reminded me of a game we played in the school play ground. George just kept beating 3 and 4 men, then he would draw the ball back and flick it to some one. Then he would just back heel it to another player. And the irish got beat 3-0. A dont believe cared about the score. As long as it was under 6-0 they always got beat and not a rugby score like 15-1. How would george have dealt with that. Its worse than a hammering, it would get football stopped in ireland. I was looking at georges home internationals, and i didnt know from 1964 to 1971 they beat scotland 3 times and drew once, and scotland won 2 times and drew twice. But in 1969 best got a brilliant goal disalowed, as the ball came in at 100mph best pulled it down with his thy then let it drop then put it away. It was a brilliant goal. So good the referee said he had used his hand to pull it down, so instead of 2-1 it was 1-1 scotland couldnt hold best he was by far to good for them. And they had to kick him so much in belfast 1970 best snapped and threw mud at the referee for just standing doing nothing as best was kicked, pulled, held, kicked again. He scored the best goal against england in 1971 the famous one when gordon banks threw it up to kick it then best struck like a viper he knocked the ball over banks head then as the two men chased after it george headed it in. Banks waved his hands as in no goal. But if he already knew that then why did he chase after best and tried to hold him back? Becouse banks knew it was a goal and he had to try something to cover his embaresment. George later asked the referee "why did you not give the goal, i didnt touch gordon as you saw yourself" the referee said "becouse it seemend the right thing to do" best just shook his head" best was to fast and to good even for the referees. No wonder he wanted away at age just 26. This is a man that proved so many times the rest shouldnt have been on the same park as him. You cant get any better than that and never will. Rip george and thancks

      @thetwoboyos george could have had any football show he wanted and other shows as a host. But the bbc thought he was far to reliant on drinck to keep it up every week. They tried him and rodney marsh in early 1988 for the best and marsh show, but george and marsh werent the hosts they were guests, it was to really see how george would do as it was on every monday for 4 or 5 weeks. And was great, and had alot of viewers. And this was like a trial peroid. But after 5 weeks it just dissappeared, or some one disappeared? As george didnt get alot of work at that timeand he didnt turn up for alot he did get, so the bbc know all that stuff and whats going on with who. And george did speeches in old dumps for a few hundred pound. And even worse. But if he didnt have a problem with drink he would be king of any top football show. And the bbc gave george lots of work over the years. Becouse he had a huge pull on tv viewers. And what a player.

    I've just watched his story and wow, it rings so true for me as the long term partner of an alcoholic who now has cirrhosis and liver failure. The disappearing on benders for days/weeks, the letting people down and then feeling so bad about it they drink more, stages of sobriety where you get a glimpse of the man you love for a short blissful period etc. It was like my own life. And I just hope and I pray that it's not too late for him. He's only 40 and we have children together. If he were to get a liver transplant I've worried about the possibility that he'd see it as a fresh new organ and drink again and end up like George here. It's so sad, horrible disease.

    • @alanmctavish4802
      @alanmctavish4802 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joel williams, i was thinking wogan was smirking becouse george didnt tell the truth about wogan and his back room team that supplied best with all that drink to GET him drunk, becouse alot of viewers dont know that they have stand in guests incase something happens and it did happen, they knew george was drunk and still allowed him on when they didnt need to. They set george up, every one knows it. But typical george he refused to tell the truth just to keep the peace and you can see here george jokes about it to cover up the true story and wogan knew he would. Thats why wogan had to ask about it strait away, to get it out the way. But george slipped up big time becouse he was making a joke about it. As in wogan said to him you were ok 3 minutes before you came on? Wich was a lie. Ye cant be ok 1 minute then 3 minutes later end up drunk. So he put george on an awkward spot, to wich he said "terry you would be suprised how MUCH an irish man can drink in 3 minutes, it was a long walk" so 3 minutes to go and they still allowed a drunken george to keep drinking as much as he wanted. So it was a set up from the start. I was only age 17 when i remember watching it on tv at the time, i knew strait away he had been drinking when he walked on stage and shook hands. At first my dad said hes drunck. And i said a know and best tried to act sober and was doing ok he wasnt being daft and was so true when talking about how england did in the world cup 2 month before. And i said to my dad i cant believe the bbc have allowed him to go on like that? Then best said he liked screwing then wogan finished it. Then i notice when omar shereif came on best was still sitting next to him for about 3 minutes as you could see him clearly, then they took him off the set altogether. When the camera was on omar you could see best wasnt there. I didnt think the bbc would sink so low, it was sad as hell to imagine that the bbc did set that up weeks in advance becouse george said in his book the viewing had dropped to next to nothing but when he went on drunck about 14 million had tunend in to watch it. As the bbc were going to axe the show but best safed it for about a year.

    Tavy@ best was the greatest player in the world between 1966 to 1971. Then in 1972-73 he wasnt half the player he was or any where near it. He was the quickest player to go downhill that i know, and at only 25, 26 he was done! It was really sad, a real tragedy!

    he was conceited, he was egotistical, he was eccentric and flamboyant, but he was a pioneer in football and a role model for hundreds of thousands of men across the world. He was unfortunate to suffer an illness which causes millions of people a great deal of trouble and heartache and I do not believe for one minute that he ENJOYED being an alcoholic. Why cant people remember him for the footballing genius that he was, and remember his positive characteristics instead of his negative ones? RIP.

    Wogan's got a fucking cheek. They left trays of booze in his dressing room, specifically so George would get drunk and play up. Wogan wasn't worth the steam from George Best's piss.

    Can you imagine being told your the greatest footballer in the world with loads of money in your back pct and a a string of girls in tow.would you want to go out in the cold windy day with it pouring rain training when you could stay in bed with a miss world or other stunning girl and a pct full of money and the chance of champagne and steak when you fancied it .I would have been dead before him he was the first pop star footballer and all the adulation and fame was too much for him

    George was brilliant, and it was, unfortunately, Sir Matt who decided to build the team around Bobby Charlton instead of George that began his descent into booze and depression.

    This is the fourth interview I've seen about great George in one evening.
    And I am so FUCKED UP - with the others - the interviewers, and the guests - they ar SO on their BIG HORSES - looking down. WHAT THE F*** HAVE THEY DONE?
    And the humble George, answers and answers, clothes himself naked - honest - wow - he was a just not one of the greatest on the field, he was also one of the greatest in situations like these......

    Tavy@ best wasnt just the greatest player in the world between 1966 to 1971 he was the greatest entertainer too! better than any tv show. George best was a one off. A miracle. After 1972-73 he had lost his great speed, his dribbling, his extremely high jumping ability to head the ball, his speed of thought. He still had his great control, he could still pass long and short with either foot, he was still brave. But he wasnt half the player he was! And at 25 it was sad! If he played on till he was 36 he wouldv proved he WAS the greatest player ever thats another 10 years on top of what he did, becouse we didnt see the best of him! Every time a see that lob against spurs in 1971 the one big pat jennings trys to punsh clear but it falls to best who takes it on hes chest then lobbs it over big pat and the rest of the defence whos on the goal line and george is at least 16 yards from goal and he clears them all and it drops under the bar exhibiting sublime execution gauged to the very inch! It sends a shiver down ma back when a see it. In 1981 a first saw best do that and had never saw it done before. I was only 8 at the time and a said to my dad who was that there dad? He said thats george best son, with a bit of sadness in hes eyes! Now a know why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
