  • 5:30 The interviewer has no balls !!

  • Jeetje...wat een knappe vent zeg...

  • (very casually) Fahlström: "You come from Ireland"

    (very matter-of-factly) Best: "I come from BELFAST." 

  • Such a great man. I can totally sympathise with his alcoholism. As a shy young lad from Belfast coming to Manchester at 16 and suddenly becoming idolised and a major superstar, it was all too much and as he was quiet and naturally withdrawn he drank because he didn't think he could liuve up to peoples' expectations of him. It was sad but when I saw hime once in a bar drinking glasses of neat vodka from 11am and then bottles of wine I'm surprised he lived as long as he did!

  • He was a gorgeous man.

  • Damn, he was a really good-looking guy back then... Beautiful eyes. And I'm straight too. LOL

  • @4.50 ' I usually go to bed at 10 o'clock at night...'.....he forgets to include the couple of birds that he takes with him....

    3 Miss Worlds........legend!

  • @thenorthfacetrek Love the way he says he's never had nerves at all at to 3:24, and just loved to get out and play football. This is testament to Best knowing he was a genius at his peak, going out to entertain the crowd. You gotta be better than good to get away with that!

  • @lucav and your point is? He was catholic(republican)

    thats why he says he likes playing for ireland

  • @TheWhizz123 you're way wrong. have you ever been to East belfast? british flags all over the place. I think the loyalist ulstermen in ireland would rather play for the north anyway. it's where they're from. but, sectarianism aside, he was the greatest player to ever come from the island of ireland.

  • @TheWhizz123 He was brought up a free presbyterian, and had links with the orange order, so he was far from a Catholic - but he didn't agree with sectarianism he just wanted to kick a ball around and score some unbelievable goals.

  • John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, George Best..the Five Beatles.

  • "Do you like girls..?" inquired Bengt, the Homo erotic albino.

    "Yes I love girls"

    "Ahhh fuck"

  • My God, George Best was aptly named! Absolutely gorgeous!!

  • 3:04 "never" bahahahah

  • Thanks for posting this. George was always a gentleman. A very likeable and decent man and that shines through here. He never blamed anyone else for his drinking. He simply enjoyed it and that was it. He played with such fearlessness and incredible courage. Thank you for showing an interview in which he appears so relaxed and at ease with himself.

  • In the late 60s and early 70s Georgie used to terrify defenders with his skill, and have the girls screaming for him on the terraces, a real Rock,n, roll footballer, he always entertained, how i used to envy this man!

  • That interviewer was like a 70's Scandinavian Borat.

  • George Best was to football what Liz Taylor was to movies STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL : )

  • @MissSophialovesnow

    its beauty that killed him though. he stated that himself

  • @Yiouli3AEL i know but george said in his last interview,"when i'm gone people will forgot about the rubbish and they will remember the football" and that's just what we should do : )

  • @MissSophialovesnow

    i believe we should also remember the part of how a great footballer who, lets face it, could have become one of the most unique footballers of all times where people would not even compare maradona and pepe to him (thats how good he was) ended up in alcocholism women and a bad life. ppl have to remember this as an example cz lets face it he is one of the greatest examples of greatness and ruin! just an oppinion [;

  • @Yiouli3AEL i very much agree with you he was a example of that,but you know all good legends are flawed in someway and even if he was not a footballer there is a good chance he still would have had problems his mother suffered from alcocholism sadly,and i think many people regard him as the best player ever it depends what you see as greatness,if people want to think maradona was the best player for scoring with his hand then so be it but to me that is not greatness.

  • George Best is very charismatic and wise man!

  • Love the way he says balance is the most important attribute, must have come in handy when he was drunk

  • Steak and eggs and eggs and steak, thats what you should have for breakfast, delicious!

  • @avro007 you are deluded my friend best was roman catholic he didn't give an answer to the question because the truth would have caused controversey notice the way he says ireland and no northern Ireland we have one player better than most if not all English players but yes if it was left to Ireland he may not have been found this proves nothin...biatch you got ass raped

  • Best I believe was roman catholic and believed Ireland should be one team that's y he says ireland

  • @TheWhizz123 LOFL you're joking right ? Besty was from East Belfast

  • How much of a fag was that interviewer lol.

  • sweet lord he was one handsome man

  • Yeah, he means he was more talented that Pele but because birds loved him he couldn't give two fucks about becoming his best self. Which is hilarious when you think about how good he was without even trying

  • how the hell does he cross his legs like that

  • Ibra watched this video before he start his carer

  • This man had a head like a turnip, best in the field mind, best in the field.

  • Det där var bland det jävligaste jag har hört! Varför uttalar han hans namn Yord? Låter åt helvete.. Han låter dessutom som en pedofil men det är väl en annan historia.

  • so damm cool.

  • what a legend...

  • the man never slept at 10 in his life. and waking at 10 ?? seriously.

    ah my hero.

  • He didn't like to actually say it but it seems like if the opportunity had arrisen he would have jumped at the chance of playing for England.

  • @avro007 what an Idiotic comment to make.

  • @taobhchlea Why?

  • @avro007 Why on earth would an irishman want to play for england ? Do you think the entire world wants to be english? Did you dream of playing for scotland as a child? He made no comment that would indicate that he wanted to play for england never mind your suggestion that he would have "jumped" at the chance. Absolute rubbish.

  • @taobhchlea Why would I think that the entire world would want to play for England?

  • @taobhchlea You never replied to my question!-Why would I think that the entire world would want to play for England?

    The interviewer asked "would you like to play for England" I did not hear him say no .He said I like to play for Ireland( Northern Ireland that means) but I would like to play in a world cup, the only opportunity of this is if he had been eligable to play for England that is why the interviewer asked him.

    If it was left to the Irish he would not have never been found at all.

  • @avro007

    Actually he meant the Republic of Ireland, he believed there should only be one Irish team.

  • @avro007 hes irish you mong

  • he looks like me there actually. without the long hair.

  • he was 26 there. Pretty damn good looking when he was that age. Went down hill pretty fast though.

  • Are you Irish?

    I'm from Belfast.

    Great George!!!!

  • Geogie was a big dog. Aaaand I think the interviewer fancied him.

  • erano i famosi anni '70

  • yes

  • George Best, a football Legend, ...and up to this day, the world has never seen a more gooooood looking footballer ... George had it all! He had the looks and the talent !!! Football in those days were so exicting to watch, because of mavericks like him......

  • A Great video of a footballing Legend who will never be forgotten he will always be the BEST.

  • Comment removed

  • CHE MITO!

  • "i usually go to bed at 10 o'clock at night....". ahhahaha yeah right

  • Maradona good; Pelé better; George Best.

  • haha gud... :P

  • Jeorge was a bad ass, Beckham is a bad arse...

  • too bad about his addiction and his unpredictability... he strikes me in this interview as being a very nice and genuine person... it's sad how his life ended

  • love his Northern Irish accent!! Georgie Best!! The Legend!! he's one of the most talented players in football history like Pele, Maradona, Johann Cruyff, Di Stefano, Beckhenbauer, Matthaus, etc.... simple the Best!!!

  • love his Northern Irish accent!! Georgie Best!! The Legend!! he's one of the most talented players in football history like Pele, Maradona, Johann Cruyff, Di Stefano, Beckhenbauer, Matthaus, etc.... simple the Best!!!

  • Sad. They both lost to alcohol - Bengt Fahlström too, once popular on Swedish TV, gone for a long time now, too much to drink...:(

  • this guy is good he ask exactly the questions i wanna ask george myself.

  • haha .. this guy sounds like Borat

  • RIP: GEORGE BEST 1946 - 2005

  • "When did you start to kick the ball!!! ..the round thing!!!" WTF!

    RIP BESTY.

  • the reporter played football before?

  • Thanks for this.

    I started my love affair with United in 1972.

    All because of Georgie Best,

  • LOOKS LIKE NIKO KRANJCAR

  • I always remember when I was young. It was a fine summers day, the birds were singing and flowers blossomed in the hot summer breeze. I saw a cute little bumble bee that came close to me, It flew down the back of the garden and chased it into my shed. When I opened the door there was a man sitting in my shed. It was Steven Speilberg. I picked up a shovel and destroyed him for making that shitty ET movie. I then went back inside and watched Robocop. DVDs wernt around then so I watched it on VHS.

  • I just hope that my last comment clears everything up.

  • @lsdarcy That - and the follow-up message - brought tears of laughter to me. Not sure why. It was just so unexpected within the context of the video posting. Had you been on the pipe??

  • This guy was really good. He had the freakest movements I have ever seen. But he has nothing to do against Maradona.

  • This is a great Interview that feels very genuine. I am swedish and this is how down to earth people were back then. Less money involved and no bad attitudes. Just the love of the game and life in general.

    It's interesting to hear that they trained (back then) between 10.15am - 12.30pm everyday. Is that the training routine for todays players also ? I expected longer trainign sessions.

  • du har ratt, varje dag 10.15 - 12.30, men idag, jag vet inte, tvarr.

  • Here in America we had somebody who looked just like George Best looked here. His name was Charles Manson.

  • Is that Bruno interviewing him??? lol

  • he was handsome man...and very good player and i admire him for only one think that he has ego and playing for hisself and do whatever HE want not the puppy of others!!!

  • they don't get interviewers like that anymore!

  • Thats not what is abuut. Goddamn Canadian hahaha

  • well said

  • The tragedy is that his career at the top was effectively over. He was drinking a bottle of whisky a day at the time. Balance was his great ability.

  • George Best said "If I was born ugly,nobody would ever remember the name Pele"

    It took me a while to understand it.

  • Did Georgie mean he was only admired for his looks and not his footballing genius ,? coz thats what George , Pele and Maradona among others are , Genius , RIP Georgie !

  • No I think he means that if he was born ugly, he wouldn't have been loved by women and he wouldn't spend his nights shagging women, partying and drinking.And that's what ruined his career, the nightlife and the booze.

  • your right

  • best player in the world

  • @muimrm yea or either if he was borned ugly he would'nt so that famous and his fame wont affect him and then he would have fufilled his pontential.

  • @muimrm you ain't just wrong son. you're very very wrong. what Georgie meant was that his looks took the focus off his game, so the public never truly understood how good he really was

  • mazyrunrun09

    I think he meant that if he was ugly there would have been less media attention, consequently football per se would have received less attention, and the likes of Pele would not be so famous, so yes, the looks were more important than the skills.

  • @muimrm i don't get it .

  • @congounderground666

    Read my other comment

  • @muimrm OHH!!!!

  • @muimrm QUITE THE CONTRARY. HE PROBS SAID THAT WHEN HE WAS DRUNK.

  • @bansheewhiskey

    maybe

  • @muimrm

    i dont think he meant it literally, because pele was hell of a player, but his career would have been a lot better if he looked like gary neville

  • dont like the interviewer, talks too much about "young boy" and Swedish girls, as well as wearing his footie kit.

  • what is the george best movie they made recently????

  • Corrrr, what a geezer!!! (and the one on the right ain't bad either!!!) Seriously, he has always astounded me with the football goals and his wonderful ability. A true champion and legend. RIP lad

  • Love watching this video.[ Up with Best down with the rest ]

  • Georgie, Georgie, they call you the belfast boy! xD

  • I'm not a futbol fanatic, but I always heard of George. He was like how Beckham is. Anyway, there's a movie that they made about his life. If anyone here know where to buy it let me know. Much appreciation.

  • nooooo lol, george is nothing like beckham.

  • Don't compare George to any other. He was simply a unique player.

    Respect!

  • yh that what i'm saying, lol read comment below thn mine

  • Ah, OK. I responded to "sassylatina74". But I think our interfaces are different so I see all responses slightly to the right, and you might see them as single comments.

    :-)

  • yh you replied to me, maybe by mistake but i looked on my inbox and your comment was there

  • not even close man,,,beckham is only fashion icon best was extraodinary player beckham is bad player!!

  • all beckham had were free kicks

  • I wouldn't say beckhams a bad player he's a very good player exceptionally good at what he doe's! Best, Maradona, Pele, Cruff, Zidane, Gascoine they were on a different level!

  • i dont agree ..beckham is useless!!

  • He's an excellent player but he has to be played in a particular way! Any time England's dropped him they've been shit!

  • Also I checked out your account you should know how good he is he took greece apart that time and got England to the world cup finals!

  • i said he only have free kick !!!and i think this dont make him good player!! whatever u think !!i said i dont agree. over!!all this view u have is all make of the media!!

  • Type in David Beckham vs Greece see what come's up!

  • Did you watch that match? Did you see what Beckham done in that game to basically the team that won the european championships? If Beckham's shit what doe's that make the entire Greece national team?

  • i said shut up ..we have diferent opinions thing whatever u want ..if u want to admire beckham like a little girl i dont have problem..just dont make my balls bigger!!if beckham is so good player we he never won ballon ,or best player of season?..i dont say that to answer just shut up!

  • You shut up you greasy...... Beckham won player of the season in the UK! In a league that actually matters!LOL

  • will u ever shut up girl fan!!?

  • I worked with a greek guy in a resteraunt once! He was very camp and was banging the owners mother who was paying his tuition fee's for university she was 82!! He was about 20! Disgusting and he had money his parents were very wealthy! The women was like that bird off of little Britain who pisses the floor all the time! She was off her head and used to come into the kitchen and just stare at him and every body had to act like they didn't see anything weird or they'd get sacked! He was a twat!

  • what?shut up shit i said!!!ante gamisou epitelous mou ta exeis priksei!!!beckham girl fun shut up!!

  • You know what your a bunch of weirdo's! Your foods shit and all these so called discovery's the greeks made in their "golden age" where stolen from all the countrys they enslaved! So there you go you's have no culture! And every greek footballer I've seen has been total garbage!

  • Oh and I don't understand greek as there really is no need for anyone outside your inbred village to learn it! So please don't write back in your ridiculous backward language!

  • fuck u stop answer me girl fun!!!!!

  • lol steak and eggs before a game? 

    ahhhh the days before scientific football

  • he goes to bed at 10 my hole!8 hours sleep...he must have drank 50 pints after that interview

  • great vid.

  • It should be mentioned that this was a children's show in Sweden. That's why the questions are rather basic...

  • I'm from the States, and think Best was one of the top two or three athletes to put on a pair of cleats, in any sport, in the last 50 years. We were fortunate to be able to catch some of his matches on ABC when I was a boy. What he had, you can't teach.

  • Comment removed

  • i hear ya.a face to turn any gay woman straight! i met him in the airport in Belfast when i was 8, ironically the international airport too. now both airports in belfast are the George Best airports for me

  • I love Geroge best....i am not gay wid him or anything but he is truly the best.....i hope cristiano ronaldo becomes as good a footballer as best was...RIP...A true Legend the gr8est player of all time

  • It's not gay to say you love a football player with regards to his talents.

  • Pele good Maradona better and George Best

  • He so lied about his sleeping times

  • best was not off the rails as much as the papers said this was 72 his problems got worse after that i think.

  • George Best, there's Legends and then there's Icons, he is both.

  • i ment the guy talking to Best.

    he looks like a fag

  • his voice is similiar to david beckhams! :-) one united!!!
