  • @bevanmcg Thank you sir, George was very misunderstood by many who didn't get him and see past his circumstances. He was the man and like he said - remember me for my football, that's what his life was all about.

  • @Queenwraith beautifully put - I think that is the best most honest tribute I've heard to this great man : )

  • Does'nt matter who you support ( and I support Liverpool), this guy is just worthy of your admiration. Seems a nice guy beneath it all.

  • @blcksbth Couldn't agree more. Imagine being a prodigy footballer as a teenager, a genius as an adult, add onto that his phenomenal good looks and charm, girls, drink etc...I think George did well just to be an alcoholic and not a dead drug addict like most rockstars of his time! He was a great person who was afflicted by drink, but I haven't seen many with more integrity that George Best.

    He was better than top 3, he was the best ;-)

  • @trueblue374 say shat you will about his personal life. that doesnt change the fact that he is one of the top 3 or 5 best player ever. he might even had been better if it wasnt for all his drinking and partying

  • "Maradona good; Pelé better; George Best.

  • @Plattbob he was also a pisshead a thief and an irresaponsible idiot who went to jail for drink driving....would you still be saying Best was class if he killed someone while driving his car pissed. I hate people and it doesn`t matter who they are who drive a car while they have been drinking they put peoples lives at risk and thats what George Best done....he was an irresponsible idiot - thank god he died because there is someone walking around now who still has their life.

  • it's funny how there's always a pissing match in the youtube comments. I'm just watching the videos marvelling at Georgie, why can't you guys do the same sheesh
