He had the right surname. And he was the BEST ever.
Happy birthday Georgey boy lufc
The best British player ever. My favourite goal was against Chelsea at Old Trafford. It was chucking it down with rain and the pitch was a bog. Johnny Aston put a beautiful pass through to George. As he approached the penalty area Ron "Chopper" Harris tried to put him into the stand, George rode the challenge, walked the ball round Peter Bonetti and tapped into the empty net. It is only one of so many great memories from my visits to Old Trafford in the 60s. Pure genius.
Man U v Everton on a Wednesday night, no tv cameras. The game finished 0 - 0, but George picked up the ball in his own penalty area from an Everton corner, went the full length of the pitch beating player after player to the Everton penalty area, rounded Gordon West only for his goal bound shot to hit an Everton defender for a Utd corner. The crowd applauded George for several minutes, unforgettable for anyone there that night
There's no debate to be had, George was the greatest player of all time. Both here and abroad. Not just for his legendary skill, but his bravery, his tackling, his heading, his reading of the game. And of course, the fairy dust, that liberal sprinkling of genius.
Yes.!
The Maldonian I too think George Best is a genius but Messi even faster and more creative.
...George was the Best...
I started supporting Utd in 1968 when I was 8. He was a genius. I cried like a baby when he died.
Grow up.
@@tearitloosetearitloose4670 he was my hero so don't tell me to grow up! You don't know me so keep your comments to yourself! Mind your own business . End of conversation !
There's children in hospital waiting for a kidney transplant..they'll be lucky to get one..Best got one and abused it.. go tell the sick kids who your hero is....GROW UP.
@@tearitloosetearitloose4670 what has that got to do with anything. He died in 2005 not yesterday. You obviously didn't like him. I'm not getting into anymore conversation with you. At the end of the day alcoholism is an illness. By the way he had a liver transplant. Bye
Puedo hablar en inglés pero ,es para mí más emocionante contaros esto en Español ,le conocí en Sevilla España ,en un encuentro contra la seleccion de futball Ireland ,ganamos pero quién se llevó mi corazón fue George Best nunca vi nada igual ,ese chico con casi mi misma edad era Mágico ,parecía que su cuerpo no pesaba y que siempre se iba a caer pero nunca sucedía hay suertes en la vida yo tuve esa,un brindis por el en el cielo que este.
Has to be that goal against Sheffield United when Man U. were beginning to struggle a bit in the early 70's. He decided to take the WHOLE defence on with that terrific close control and blinding pace. The keeper was expecting a near post shot but George amazingly beat Jim Brown with a far post shot. Wonderful goal and probably the BEST I have ever seen to this day. Just fantastic and with Coleman commentating also.
Lobbing Pat Jennings for me!
George Best's goal against Tottenham Hotspurs in 1971 when he lobbed Pat Jennings with about three or four Tottenham players on the goal line. Sheer genius, a truly great player.
I seen eusabio and Pele at goodison in the 66world cup but I never saw anyone come close to George Was heartbreaking to see his demise thru drink but on the pitch he had no equal
My dave memory of G.B. is back in mid nineties when i met him over here in Cork,Ireland. I asked him to sign an old Waterford v Man utd. Prrogramme...he signed it and we spoke
In August 1990 Whilst on my honeymoon my wife and I were driving around the car park at Old Trafford, My wife said that’s George Best there, I said he’s not been here for years, she said it’s George Best, she was right I jump out of the car leaving the door open and engine running and asked him for his autograph. He signed it with smile. Thank you George.
George Best You are a Fantastic Football player You are the Best George Best Good bye the Belfast boy World legend Maradona Cruyff Pele George Best is the Best
My favourite memory of this brilliant player, really isn't football related. Back in 1980, my amateur team I played for, here in Canada, was invited to an invitational tournament in Los Angeles. Our manager at the time was the father of a player on the Aztecs named John McGrane. John and George had become good friends and most people knew that George Best had a restaurant in LA called Besties. He invited our team to his restaurant on one of our days off from the tournament. It was a Sunday brunch and he put on quite a spread for our team. He came out and chatted to all of us like he was our best friend. A genuine great guy and I was lucky to have met him.
Meeting George at my place of work along with Alex was and is a highlight of my life big fan since the 60s I get him to sign his autobiography for me and still treasure it
Scoring against Benfica at wembly in the 1968 European Cup to make it 2 - 1 if I recall it. We had just got a colour at home aswell I was only 10. What a player!!
Met him at his pub & casually talked about soccer in the U.S. & NASL history for like an hour.
George's incredible goal for the San Jose Earthquakes V Fort Lauderdale Strikers back in 1981 - My Favourite goal of all-time!!!
Soccer Camp Southern California 1977. LA Aztecs and George Best taught a bunch of us 8 year olds. Reminded me of my dad who was his age and my youth coach. Same serious but affable style. We didnt know how much of a legend he was even then and we were the biggest NASL junkies at the time going to all the Aztecs games.
My amateur team was invited down there from Canada for a tournament in 1980. Our coach's son played with George on the Aztecs. His name was John McGrane. George invited us, on our day off, to his restaurant and he was so gracious. He put on quite a spread for us and we were lucky to meet him and chat with him. I'm 66 now and that memory of him will always be with me.
Simply the best there ever was
Saw him when Tottenham play Manchester United 1974
I was lucky enough to have met him 68-69 ,i'd been selected to play for Manchester schoolboys
Back then we trained at the cliff on a Tuesday afternoon and Citys training ground at Platt lane on a Thursday...well id pulled a calf muscle playing for school on the Saturday...so our Manchester boys coach Mr Atherton...told me to go to the treatment room which was in the main building across the car park from the indoor training complex....as I entered the physio room my jaw dropped, lay on a treatment bench was George Best...you can imagine the impact this had on a 14year old kid....he was brilliant asking me who I played for and what position....top guy....a memory I will treasure...
Tavy@ that lob over everyone against spurs in febuary 1971 was just genius!
Arguably the greatest british player of all time. Genius. That goal against chelsea when he walked the ball in the net after ron chopper harris tried to take him out and george just rode the challengd nonchantly.
Arguably the best ever world wide.
A genius.
George said he was Irish
@@geraldwalsh6489he was but Ireland is one of the British Isles therefore he was also British just like English, Scots and Welsh.
@@daveloboda1769northern irl is british but rep of irl is not
@@seamusmeehan6036 geographically, the island of Ireland is the second largest of the British Isles.
Met him twice, 1969 and 2001...My favourite Memory, his goal Against Chelsea in The league cup quarter Final of 1970 at old Trafford. 47,000 witnessed The goal that summs up Football at it's Absolute best. Skill, Bravery, Honesty,l and Passion...Throw David Coleman"s Commentary for good measure.
Without doubt the greatest player ever, not for the longest time but the most talented and gifted player ever who was also extremely brave. There was nothing he could not do and do really well. John Cope
THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER!
Far from the greatest ever, but he was top 20 ever.
@@McFlashh top 10 even 5 arguably 1st
@@honestmanutdfan603 He didn't score much goals, get many assists and didn't do anything for his international team. Top 10 is: CR7, Messi, Cruyff, Romario, Maradona, Pele, Eusebio, R9, Puskas, Neymar. George Best isn't better than any of them, however I will say that he's one of the best dribblers of all time.
In floods of tears watching this.
The goal against spurs lobed it over.
Jennings brilliant 👏
1971!
As the chant goes...There's Georgie Best...then there's the Rest...And I'm a City Blue...
George Best played football to entertain the crowds - fans who paid to watch football from their hard earned money.
He was an entertainer and was the best in the world at it. I can recall one event, where on kick-off, Denis Law bet him a fiver he couldn't take the ball to the other end without the ball touching the ground. Denis paid up after the match.
He refused to go down under heavy tackles unlike many others and even more so in today's football. There are great players who play either right or left legged but the player who uses either foot is the better footballer.
Hairs at the back of my neck would stand up when Georgie was in the opposition's half. No footballer since has come close.
Chelsea vs Utd an evening game at Stamford Bridge in the 1964-5 season. He relentlessly destroyed poor Ken Shellito, the very capable Chelsea right back, and caused the Chelsea defence to be in panic and disarray throughout the game. No attempted brutality by Ron Harris and co could stop George. To give them credit the astonished Chelsea crowd also marveled at his skills and were full of praise for his miraculous performance. Everyone present that September night new then, if they didn't know it before, they had watched a unique footballing genius.
2 Sheff United away and against Real Madrid absolutely brilliant
Loved the fact he spent so many games in Paul Reaney's pocket... MOT Super Leeds...
Yes, and Reaney is forgotten now, while George's memory will live forever.
best player ever lived
When I was a lad I whenever I was having a game of footy with my mates I imagined I was George. Trouble was my mind played like George but my legs never😉
GEORGE BEST VS BENFICA - EUROPEAN CUP FINAL 1968
and the time i saw him score against Newcastle @StJames (1972 i think)
1972 I think? Was watching him at Portsmouth V Man U frieindly. Me older sister Shiela got me there, hear me now!!!!
That was a goal against England
Un fenómeno del fútbol
That goal against Gordon Banks was legal. The ref wasn't watching and just assumed Best must have fouled Banks. In fact he judged it perfectly and waited for the ball to leave Banks' hands and then hooked it away when it was in mid-air.
Mucky Droy sitting on him when he played for Fulham ;only way he could stop him
Just standing and talking to George I was age 13 at old trafford he had time for us that was in 1969 we did not have much money or are not famous so most people who have I listen to better memory's which money or jobs
We had nothing but he went out of his way and time for us r I p georgie
BEING ALIVE
Favourite memory, hmmm, George getting a gift liver transplantation from a generous thinking donor then George just pisses it against the wall. Real nice George. Someone else could have had it & had a good life.
My favourite memory is turning inside out Bobby Moore and making a fool of him on the touchline near goal.
N Ireland v Scotland.
Poor Danny McGrane.
Little known fact about George, his middle name was The
Oh tell a lie 3 lobbying Pat Jennings at Spurs perfect goal
I only saw him play once for Hibernian when he was overweight and way past his best ! However his brain was still too good for the rest of the players and he scored direct from a corner .
The last few seconds of this video sum up George Best's footballing abilities to a T. Maradona good, Pele better, George.........Best.........
Him getting through 2 livers. 👏🏻
I have memories of him putting the transplant system back years due to selfish behaviour. Horrible bastard
LEGEND NUF SED,,,except duna like eamon fekin holmes
His Death.
soccer Pele , yellow number four , air traffic control , Anna university , why a leave letter ? not a maternity leave ? which employer needs a leave letter once the employee resigns , squad attendance city union bank , tbm , leave letter ....... for the employer who doesn't need employee .....me .............?Jessy
Why doesn't Eamon support his local team in Northern Ireland? Also slagging off the English while supporting an ENGLISH Premiership club.😂 Also, a joke: What's the difference between ghosts and Man Utd fans from Manchester? Answer: ghosts👻 probably do exist. LOL 🤣
Play for for the best club and become legend and have the best birds the world can offer or be reporting on Englands last game against the USA... GEORGE BEST FOR A REASON ((((HE WAS))))
