But it WAS part of the game in the 70s. Far more was allowed in those days & as Big Mal said Best was"generally the player who gets that kind of thing" Best was a tough player- he had to be but was not considered dirty. It was not a 2 ftd challenge, he went in with his right ft-his left is under...

Not only did Man Utd fail to sign Mike England but Alan Ball says in his autobiography that when he was transfer listed by Everton, Utd were asked if they were interested & said no. By 1970, out of the 68 team, Foulkes was 38, Charlton 33, Brennan 33, Crerand 31 & Law 30. Lookin back now you can ...

looks interesting. An English translation would be helpful?

Yes great player. Cannot understand all the comments on some footage that he was finished after the 68 Benfica Cup Final. He may have had his off field problems but I remember him still playing great football until 1972 when he seemed to realise there wouln't be any good new players and the drink...

Enjoyed this thank you. George Best 4 years after the 68 euro cup final still playing good, skillful, mature football. He was supposed to be finished, drunk, missing training. Can see no evidence of it here

"Best bringing down Yeats" lol !

George Best probably made twice as many goals as he scored. He is remembered as being selfish and failing to pass the ball - and he could be when on a dribbling run.. But he was a great passer of the ball too.

this is not highlights video. It was an 'alternative' film of 90 mins to show 1 of 22 players. Anyone who has played or watched football knows how much time is spent without the ball-walking jogging changing direction waiting for free kicks etc.Best is not unfit or overweight, just not a skinny 1...
