More action of Geordie in the green of Northern Ireland, including two unfairly disallowed goals, a goal against England and brief clip from his last game.
George Best was the complete player..... Ball control..... ability to beat defenders in tight situations.......tremendous burst of speed......staying on his feet after hard tackles and one of the best finishers in the game ...with feet or head.......today he would be on any top teams squad worldwide. Was he the greatest ever.?......really who can make such judgement of any player.......but one thing we do know.......this man could play football.
Northern Ireland almost qualified for World Cup 1966. They went to Albania for their final match expecting to win, and therefore qualify. Albania had lost every match in the group. However, it ended 1-1 and they missed out by a point. Best was 19 and would have just turned 20 for the main tournament. Imagine a 20-year old Best taking on the world in front of an English Crowd in 1966. We'd still be talking about it today..
they said he never played long enough in his time. playing before his 18th birthday for northern ireland if he was brazillian he would have played for them european footballer of the year.he was the best player never to play in a word cup and as good as anybody that did play in a world cup.
As an Englishman I admit we've never had anyone as skillful and rounded as best internationally but at the same time I'm from Manchester so say no more fella,the blokes a legend..
Pele, no where near the skill of G.Best Messi and Mara Dona what u chatting about , George best the legendary king of footy no one will ever match the skill u see in any vid on utube of George best. I came from norn irn and I guarantee u wont find any better player from n.i or any country!
I disagree. Maradona was the man!. Could take anyone on and had so much skill. Pele played in a poor league all his career and couldnt take players on like Maradona could. Besty had the skill but drank away his career. Maradona by far for what he achieved in the game in the best leagues in the world.
Brilliant. The clip everyone around the world is trolling for is George nutmegging cruyff and then neskins. You have some clips from that game , do you have the nutmegs ? thanks again.
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 Danny van Strien Holland Europe
He was still decent in '82. Even if he only had 10-15 minutes a game, he could have offered something. Sweden will be stupid if they treat Zlatan like NI did best. Bring him as a late game insurance policy.
Yeah, I have never understood why there is not a British team for all sports - Football, Olympics, etc. A British team would be very hard to beat. Unfortunately the word 'United' as in the UK is a misnomer. Is it Racism, regionalism, bigotry, bloody mindedness? The petty idiocy about geographic borders (and pathetic religion of course) is what causes wars. Anyway, George Best was my hero, he could outplay any of today's footballers, and definitely out-drink them.
At that time when he played for hibs he was offered a deal that he couldn't refuse, around 2000 plus expenses per game when the rest of the first team was on 120 plus bonuses. George had been messed around by Fulham and he wanted away, this is when the hibs chairman made his move for him.
tavy@ that was a great goal against banks when banks THREW THE BALL up in the air? But best struck like a viper. Its baffling why the goal wasnt allowed. Every1 knew it was not just a goal but a great goal lol. The referee just panicked and blew hes whistle.lol in those days referees were terribble. They were just like amature refs then. In 1971 they got paid around £4 pound a game, if that? And no wonder.lol only bestie would have thought of that lol!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P BESTIE
Alex Mcleish was the manager of Hibs yet he was a Rangers fan. As was Kevin Thomson. Don't come out with that kind of bigoted tripe. " Oh we're irish and Catholic, please Love us" Been going on 100 years too long. Pathetic.
