  • What was wrong with the goal?

    The ball had left the goalie's hand and was in mid air when Best kicked it.

  • @sergioleoneitalia A fellow Best fan, finally someone who sees the genius! ;-)

  • @tigerarmyrule agree

  • Incredible

  • @tigerarmyrule I know man, I'm a Belfast lad and huge United/Best fan. Love seeing clips like this, unfortunately when match of the day started Best was just coming through and most of his early genius was never caught on camera, I still say Best was gifted with something that no other player before or since has had. Unique talent. There's a Best tribute on here by johanceder if you search it, has lots of old skills and footage on it, uncanny balance and change of direction.

  • @Queenwraith notice the ease with which he switches to his weaker ( left ) foot. One of the many reasons for the attraction of his style was the two footedness he spent hours and hours practising as a kid. Cruyff had this as well and it is this which makes them both superior to watch than the one footed likes of maradona and Messi. Not necessarily superior players but superior to watch, aesthetically superior.

  • @tigerarmyrule Couldn't agree more

  • Im Irish myself, born & bred in County Down (not too far away from Bestie's home patch in the east) i look at best, and i feel extremely proud... Ive never seen any player compare to him but one, Paddy McCourt.. Another Northern Ireland prodigy!

  • although Im a man city fan i still think the guy was a genius. great video mate
