George Best

[jonnypk777]

Couldve been the greatest ever - a shame that drink ruined his life. It would have been interesting to see him managed by Alex Ferguson - he just might have been recognised as the best ever then. The French, Spanish, Italians, etc etc dont seem to mention him much in their list of top 10/20 best ever.

[BDthelegend]

hes more than a king

[courtfarm1]

Man United were the best team in the world at that time!!!!!!!!!

[MrGuitarrez]

It is pertinent to remember that the richer teams of today stock pile the best players in their team right down to the last reserve. So if you're a fantastic player like Messi, you have opponents whose line up will figure the best players and the game played nowadays is much faster than ever. If you enjoy footie, just sit back and appreciate each and every player who entertained you. I love football in my way. My biggest joy is when Yawnited gets beaten. Nothing else comes close.

[GazzzaHD]

fuck messi, he couldnt even lace george best's boots.

[pelethesecond]

What I would give to have been able to watch Best, Law and Charlton live...being able to trundle to Old Trafford and watch the United Big 3 destroy teams was sadly not in my era.

Can someone who has seen him play live, either televised or not, compare him to Messi please?

[turkyish]

@pelethesecond never seem him play live myself now,,,BUT MESSI i have seen play live and all i can say is GENIUS,,,,best player i have ever seen

[Nicky02021]

@pelethesecond George Best is better than Messi.

[unebert]

Belfast Ireland??? your ignorance is offensive.

[SpaghettiZoSo]

chills...

[se4nyb0y]

loved your video, but it was pete best, not george best who was the 5th beatle!! pete was an early drummer for the beatles, but he never turned up for practice...hence pete best the 5th beatle!! not george!! same second names i guess but thats as far as it goes, pete best couldnt play football and i doubt george played drums!!

[tigerarmyrule]

@se4nyb0y George was called "el beatle" by the Portuguese press in 1966 when ehe starred against Benfica....that is where the 5th beatle thing comes from. 

[thetoon99]

@se4nyb0y you got it wrong

[TheMrFratboy]

His middle name is 'isda'

[patmanrebel]

I have no idols in this world apart from you George RIP

[turkyish]

@patmanrebel watch messi play football,,,then u will have 2,,

[cadulupianez]

Please someone know the name of this song and who sings it? Thanks ...

[alexanderVC98]

What is the name of the song??

[TheOpiumDistrict]

@alexanderVC98 R Kelly Worlds Greatest. Made for the movie Ali.

[alexanderVC98]

@TheOpiumDistrict  Thanks man! ;)

[brownsrd16]

What was it George said of Beckham? "He can't tackle, he can't head the the ball, he can't dribble, apart from that he's alright!" George knew was it took to be a complete player. Best was Best.

[james12984]

george best was the greatest ever and there will never be another football player like him!!

[skinnyc1soccer]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious You're more like a fuckin' moron!

[nick1177]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious you're an idiot.

[eagleeyejerry]

Class act

[cla6990]

qualè il nome della canzone???

[Prince21Jason]

3 dislikes? Clearly haven't just seen what I have! Blind much?

[JoeRyan33]

@NIFootie2010 It's a moot point, Irish men are free to represent their country, a la Darron Gibson.

[JoeRyan33]

@NIFootie2010 The word is sectarian, and as overused as it may be in reference to Irish politics, it refers to conflict between subdivisions of peoples. To include planters in the national team (as you point out, Best was a planter), would hardly be a sectarian act. His inclusion would be the very antithesis of sectarianism. It's probably just eating at you that Best himself wished for an all-Ireland team.

[JoeRyan33]

@NIFootie2010 There's as much difference between the north and the south of Ireland as there is between the east and west. It's one country, and Best himself wanted to play on an all Ireland team because they'd have faired much better with the talent available at the time.

[valjean1ful]

thanks for this video, I just discover this football player and his goals, all goals are best like his name !

[Xanthos90]

1:45 and 2:10 say it all

[akbistheman]

golden age of futbol

[quangojonny]

Song says it all.

[jameclarke777]

i bet if was still alive 2day he could make a fool of any footballer in the world even if he is at an old age u might loose ur fitness but ull never loose ur skill

[zenoist2]

Maradonna can never be great for me sorry.

He cheats.

George Best never needed to cheat.

[BrittinAB]

He was magic, a legend, and SIMPLY THE BEST!!

[hunkabuggy]

PROBABLY THE WORST MUSIC EVER FITTED TO A GREAT ARTIST... and from a pedo too !!

[jornybear]

A legend

[mylillambs]

Hi Jamie. Thank you, that was wonderful. I was a 9 year old Aussie girl when he begun his caree I had abubble gum card of him that I treasured. I remember that he was my hero. He inspired me to play the game when I was 17.

[mirwin931]

Makes me proud to be from Northern Ireland. PELE said he was the greatest, waow!

[TheWarren7]

ive seen them all come and go but no one touches him!

[chinaaccenthk]

PELE said it... Best was the greatest...

[jonesgerard]

"Possibly because of this he died young" ?

dude , he destroyed 2 livers.!

Its a disease of selfishness.

Giving a liver to an unrecovered alcoholic is a crime.

He could have gone to AA, its free.

Most people don't understand how insanely sick alkies are in their mind.

[DippShits]

@jonesgerard Wow, you make a very good point about alcohol dependancy and have some sobering insights...

...you have depressed the f**k out of me - now I NEED a drink!

[clayton998]

yep thats georgie the belfast boy!!!!

[tigerarmyrule]

Il Fantastico.

[aricati]

Maradona is good, Pele better, George BEST.

[Dave23788]

pele even said that george was the best

[goldyn12345]

@aricati shame he never played in a world cup!!! maradonna was the best ever for me, the little genius!!!

[chingwan2010]

@aricati

Totally agree! 

[Nicky02021]

@aricati It's true! You are the king!

[carlos7217]

he gave the game up far early

[GameBoyWalkthroughes]

He was named Best because his parents were.

[kilfster]

As a Chelsea supporter, as a FOOTBALL supporter, it must be said. George Best could dink and jig, control and shoot, dribble and feint, all in the same run.. he raped defences. He was on another level, and only Pele touches him. Zola had some of Best, but even Zola didnt match Best. He was a sight for sore eyes on a rainy day. We always went home talking of Best.. A true legend.

[HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE]

@kilfster Incorrect. Puskas can also be compared to Bestie

[dckkingsmill]

@HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE Puskas? His right foot was only for standing on. Best had 2 feet. Puskas was a devastating goalscorer. Best was that and more.

[666fannyfart]

mmm dont know why but i just fancy a plate of LIVER and onions.

[googill]

i was born in Northan Ireland best player ever!!!!

[reecenolan]

i would like to see the likes of ronaldo trying to even kick that ball nevermind do skill and tricks with it the things weighed a ton george best greatest ever

[dylanmufc7]

and he also says born in belfast,ireland

its belfast,northern ireland

[dylanmufc7]

he says in the info not irish

but george best is northern irish when will people learn that

[Serenjexroad]

To EggEater2 Yes it is something I regret but it is not good to dwell on it now! I would need too much time to explain everything to you... I have not thought about it much lately and really prefer when an old friend reminds me about it, that he did not.... You know thing like 'You really did have it' and all that stuff..... please it is something very hard to hear when you stopped playing at a very early age. Thats the thing with sport... its a short career with no second bite of the cherry

[feldman61]

You say that as though you know him, idiot.

George Best truley was, the best.

And no, Ronaldo is not better than him. Maybe with time, but not now.

[MartinGers93]

Maradona good, Pele better, George best.

[Serenjexroad]

revchiu {2 weeks ago} If George Best was 10 then C. Ronaldo is 8.5 max........ Some achieved more than Best in terms of awards even maybe goals but that cannot make them better than George Best. I had more skill than Ronaldo when I was 14. Pity i stopped playing. I would not have been better than George.... maybe as good so people still tell me.

[EggEater2]

If you were so good why did you stop playing? Lies

[Serenjexroad]

Hope you got my reply on Youtube... Best of luck.....

[raffv46]

britains best ever...?

[mistermarkieboy]

ever has been and will be :)

[ManUnitedRuleEngland]

Absolute genius.

R.I.P

[ChelseaFC001]

Even though I am a Welsh and a Chelsea fan I still have too admit george best is the best player ever. As they say Maradona good, pele better, george best.

[revchiu]

If Maradona good, Pele better, George best, and he is Britains best ever, then all those players after him is only the 2d / 3rd best. I don't think so, judging from the recorded scene, C Ronaldo is better than him. Although I don't like C Ronaldo, but I can't ignore the fact because of my dislike.

[tigerarmyrule]

Ronaldo has never been tackled my friend. Have you ever seen him ride a tackle? Better than Best? No. He is good I accept but come on he dives when under pressure.

[irishrover1967]

when george best played the defenders used to kick the legs of him he had the ballance of a cat and thats why he very rarely went down when tackled hard

[naaaa100]

good video

[JKNEVER69]

As much as I hate Man U (I'm a Liverpool FC fan), I reckon he was one of the best players in the world. He's right up there with the likes of Pele, Bobby Moore, Kevin Keegan and others. It was alcohol that ruined his career. Alcoholism is an insidious disease which not only ruins the life of the drinker, but also the family.

[zigzag909]

Shit soundtrack, George would have hated it.

[patboi777]

Greatest Player to ever live no doubt about it !

[sexysupersteve]

he wernt the greatest shut up..greastest drinker yeh ..and letting man u down several times and his family ,and smacking his missess in the mouth......for zidane ,pele,ronaldo

[blujack07]

watch your mouth mate!!..don't come here spouting off that shit! bitta respect bro!

[amarone1956]

A legend. I watched him when I was a boy.

He is the greatest.

[Aidan647]

same I@M a catholic not irish lykes but greatest player i've ever seen does'nt matter what religion u r u hav 2 give credit when it is due surely

[googill]

i was born is nothan ireland best footballer in da world RIP

[HitMeQuick]

I don't know which looks better - the shots of Best turning a defence or those shots of a cupboard full of booze. Mmm booze. I love it. In fact, fuck it, I'm away to get shitfaced. C'mon Friday, Let's have it !!!!

[Beaton666]

OK i would prefer it if religion does not become an issue! I am not religious I just wanted to make a video about a football player!

[pilotl1011]

what makes you think Catholics are better than protestant, I am Russian Orthodox, we are all christians at the end--even if he was a moslem, jew or budhist, who cares, he gave us the most astonishing football, the world,s most talented player, RIP George.

[GeorgeBestisgod]

im irish and a man u fan :D

[AttentionSeeker00]

Protestant Scum

[mrpompeyfc]

why do you need to get racial?

he is the worlds greatest player!! and he is a hero to many players and fans.

[PaulCurley717]

lol I just think its funny thats all ;), can ye not tell by the name of that account that Im just fuckin about?, but this is something he once said though

"In the early 1970s, If it hadnt been for my football career Id have probably been out on the streets with everyone else hurling rocks at catholics"

- George Best

[mrpompeyfc]

fair enough. i'm a catholic and i just stand up for anyone that needs it!

[tombaxter22]

i am english and even i salute the great man pity he couldnt overcome his acholism

[PaulCurley717]

he was deffo an alcoholic, when alcoholics are off the drink tryin to stay dry, and they get the urge for a drink suddenly, they lick their bottom lip, its uncontrollable, wishing they had a beer in their hand, I saw him do it in an interview once just after he got them stomach staples

[gfcftb]

fuck u!

[GeorgeBestisgod]

why get racist? just because you dont like his religeon doesnt take away from the fact he was the best footballer the worl has ever had the pleasure to see, and for the record i am catholic, but i still dont belive wot u said was right.

[pilotl1011]

protestant, catholic, baptist, lutheran, moslem, jew ---what does this have to do with football, He is the best footballer ever, and brings pride to Ireland.

[papermache26]

is there any need to talk about the drink and showing all the clips of drink!!!! he was a true FOOTBALL legend cant we just focus on that

[tommyobrien84]

1:00 looks like from the same game he got the famous goal... i think he'd been following Banks around a bit with his kick outs...this isn't the one he stole from him i think this was from earlier on.... should have been allowed that goal...genius

[Beaton666]

Yeah good point "thetoon99"!

My mistake

[bigteston]

Thank you, it's really nice. Georgie we miss you.
