Genius, magician, legend, George Best is perhaps the most talented footballer ever to walk on the face of the planet. Best was the complete player. Pele, Cruyff, Maradona - all were superb but Best had a bit of each in his game and more.

He could beat opponents with skill and dazzling tricks, swerving through defences like a skier on a slathom course, or go past them with a burst of devastating speed. He could shoot brilliantly with either foot and out-jump much taller opponents to win the ball in the air. George Best had the confidence and arrogance to try absolutely anything - he knew he was a genius and was not afraid to show it.

Best was also strong enough to take the knocks and abuse from the less talented players who would try to hack him out of the game. In an age where players did not receive protection from referees and the so called "hard-men" played the game, Best took it all on the chin and triumphed regardless. When he tried one trick too many and lost the ball he would fight twice as hard to get it back.

Playing as a winger and sometimes striker, he would inspire his team and bring a crowd, home or away, to its feet. The man from Belfast was born with a wonderful gift, however with this gift came the penalty of a wild destructive streak that would always cast a shadow on his career.

A great player on the pitch however off the pitch he was an alcoholic and the party life style had took it's toll over a once great individual he had a successful liver tranplant in 2002 however his addiction to alcohol caused him to start drinking again thus sealing his own fate...

a few weeks ago he was taken to hospital and doctors confirmed he had an infection in his liver that was a result of medication he was on to stop him drinking...his condition went up and down for the next few weeks but it was apparant that over the last few days the end was near for George and now he has passed...

George Best 1946-2005 - 59 years of age...a brilliant football player...never to be forgotten :thumbup:

RIP Georgie B

a sad day for football fans, not just man utd fans but anyone who likes the beautiful game. He was a living legend now hes up there with Bobby Moore in the pitch in the sky

George Best actually said one of my favourite quotes ever:

"i spent most of my money on booze, women and fast cars. The rest i squandered"

-classic, shame it was very true and look where it got him.

Nice one for starting this thread Mad Dog

n/p...jus waiting for the yanks to go who :huh:

RIP to the best football legend england has ever seen

ye deffo i knew it'd be today it was a miracle he got through the night...but once he got admitted into hospital i had a gut feeling this would be the end...you jus know...but i mean if you got a 2nd chance...like he did...you'd take it...it's REALLY a shame that regular people (not footie fans) will more than likely remember him for being an alky and not the brilliant sportsman he was back in his day...

Best = 1st person NOT to be paid compulsary wage...i believe...but i think he was the one who scrapped fixed wage for footballers...

and ye i am...
