George Best PhiLLer, you have a fine taste in footballers, it's a pity he retired in his mid 20's, he was a genius with the ball, forget the rest 'Best is Best' ..
...........................................George Best: Victim of stardom
The rise of modern footballer as multi-millionaire superstar can arguably be traced to the emergence in the 1960s of one George Best.
Best combined dishevelled good looks and supreme talent with a rock 'n' roll lifestyle that made him the first in a what has since become a long line of players whose antics have become not just tabloid entertainment, but big news.
The growth of television - Best made his debut as a 17-year-old the year before the BBC began its weekly Match of the Day show - meant he was rocketed to stardom in a way never experienced by those before him.
Arguably the most naturally gifted footballer of his generation, Best is famous for squandering his skill and failing to achieve his full potential.

Best factfile
1946: Born May 22 in Belfast
1963: Makes debut for Man Utd
1964: Makes Northern Ireland debut
1965: United win the league championship
1968: Voted English and European footballer of the year
1970: Sent off for Northern Ireland for throwing mud at ref
1972: Walks out on United aged 26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a young man the Manchester United star was famous for spending his nights propping up bars at exclusive nightclubs and leaving in the early hours with a beautiful blonde on his arm.
He revelled in the limelight but as the first of the new superstars, found himself unable to cope with the temptations littered across his path.
Alcohol, late nights, women. He indulged in them all to excess and as a result walked out of top class football in 1972 aged just 26.
He spent the next 11 years plying his trade with various second-rate clubs on both sides of the Atlantic before finally hanging up his boots in 1983.
By then he had sunk into alcoholism.
In 1984 he hit rock bottom when he served two months of a 12-week jail term for drink driving and assault on police.
But the talent which once had commentators struggling for superlatives saw him retain a fond place in the hearts of the public.
In 1988 friends in his home town of Belfast helped organise a testimonial match in a bid to raise funds to stave of his looming bankruptcy.
The match raised £75,000 and attracted a crowd of 20,000 - the largest in Belfast for 20 years.
Unfortunately he is better remembered by the audience of millions who watched his drunken appearance on the BBC chat show Wogan in 1990.
Some were outraged at his offensive language so early in the evening, others found it funny. Most found it sad.
In some ways, though Best had been through unhappier times, that humiliating, public display marked the nadir of his downfall.
He has since become a respected pundit with Sky Sports.
But many of his fans will forever rue his lost promise, the promise which led a scout to telephone Manchester United manager Sir Matt Busby with the message - "I think I've found a genius" after seeing him play as a 15-year-old.
Busby promptly signed Best, who had learnt his craft dribbling tennis balls through the terraced streets of Belfast.
It is significant that Best returned to Northern Ireland before playing a game because he was homesick and only returned to Old Trafford after Busby flew over to talk him into a return.
He was 17 when he made his First Division debut for United against West Bromwich Albion in September, 1963.
Best hit the big time at once, exploding onto the scene at the same time as the Beatles went to No 1 in the hit parade.
For many, Best and the Beatles at full tilt remain the most enduring images of that era.
Two years later he helped United win their first championship for eight years - by then he was not yet 20 - and it was followed by another in 1967.
A year later picked up the English and European footballer of the year awards as United became the first English team to win the European Cup.
He helped United romped to a 4-1 triumph over Benfica at Wembley. Two years earlier he had masterminded a 5-1 demolition of the Portugese giants, scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.
He also famously scored six goals in an FA Cup fifth-round tie against Northampton.
The world seemed at its feet, but only four years after his famous night at Wembley he shocked the football world by announcing his retirement.
He made a brief but unsuccessful comeback with United then followed spells with Stockport, Fulham, Hibernian, Los Angeles Aztecs and San Jose Earthquakes before finally retiring in 1983 after a brief stint with Bournemouth.
Such was his impact on the game that in 1972, after Best had flown to Spain following his bust-up with United declaring he was finished with football for good, his departure was debated in the House of Commons.
The motion tabled was entitled: "The Best is the enemy of the good."

Well, i do my, erm .. 'Best' to keep up to it all, after all it is our game isn't it .. Ned
Yeh Ned...Bestie was the best player in the world, he was better than Pelè, he only didn't get the recognition because he played for a tiny country(Northern Ireland) and never took part in any of the major tournaments at international level.
Even Pelè said that Best was the best, pity he let the booze end his football career so early!
I've never seen him play but I watched lots of video's and all that and boy he was great, he is also a very nice person off the pitch.
The goal he scored vs Befica was just awsome, dribling in and out, turning defenders around, wow!
He was very very quick, very good ball control and his shooting was great to.Manutd were sure lucky to have a team in the 60's that could field the strikers Law, Charlton and Best, them three must have been the finest attacking bunch in the world.
He so nearly wasn't a manutd player, when he was 17 and had his first trials with United he was home-sick and wanted to leave Manchester, he returned though.
After his career at United Best went to America to continue his footballing career over there(as all old footballers do).
George Best also has a very nice lunch room/bar in Fulham,London with his own brand of wine.He's there quite often, it's a very nice place!
I remembered just now the night Bestie appeared on Parkinson chat show, he got more drunk by the second...the free drinks which were available at the show didn't help him of course.
That great phrase Best asked Parkinson always sticks with me for some reason, he said: "Can I say ****?".Best was really pissed on that show.It was nearly embarassing to watch it
At the moment George Best is still having some problems with the booze but luckily he's got a good wife(Alex) who takes good care of him.
Finally Bestie seems to have overcome the booze problems.
He is an excellent player and although Eric Cantona is an awsome player I found it very strange that Best was voted second best in Manut'd player of the century poll, behind Cantona....that is probably because so little people ever saw Best play(small children or even my generation).
Bestie for ever!

i actually watched him play in 8 matches when i was a nipper,thanks to my old man taking me over to Manchester, but i now only remember patches of the games, i remember the electric atmosphere at Old Trafford, and seeing Best, Law, Charlton "The Holy Trinity' and co walk out onto the pitch and playing, i thought that i was in another world after visiting the Bradford ground, I was mainly watching Law and Best perform, i didn't really understand the ins and outs of the game at that point in time, then once back home it was a kids dream of being a footballer like those players, but i only made youth league and then later on into the Yorkshire Amateur league as a casual\social footballer .. and in all honesty from what i remember of George Best, i have never seen a player of his quallity play in the English First, now Premier division ever since he quite the game, there has been some good ones, Keegan, Dalgliesh, Bobby Charlton who was an exeptional player for both club and country but none with gifted speed and complete ball mastery has he had .. Btw if you are all wondering of what vintage i am, well, very late 30's, so now you know .. Ned
