George Best BBC2 Documentary

[AndyC]

He wouldn't have listened and I'm sure plenty did - it's part of the problem.
Those who saw him thought he was an all time great - I did and do.
Trust me on this - I'm an Arl Arse

Without a shadow of a doubt, Best is/was an all-time great, he just didn't have as long as others but he was an unbelievably gifted footballer.

Just trivia mate. Doesn't need analysing.

It's Chinatown ...sorry GOT, everything needs analysing.

groucho saves, degsy taps in the rebound, looks for a flag, no flag, only the whistle for a goal, wheels away to punch the bejayus out of the corner flag

best line - "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds (women) and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"

Never played in a cup final.

Just trivia mate. Doesn't need analysing.

He was before my time and I didn't really know the ins and outs of his career, so I really enjoyed the documentary last night.

A young man who succumbed to the drink and went the same way as his Mam, sad but he made his own choices.

He was some player in an eventuality aging UNT team - I seen him once at Goodison with us having a very good team 4 of our players had to try and mark him out the game - lightning pace - suberb ball control - scared us as a team to hell - ended up 0-0 - as we had to stifle his play it stopped us going forwards in a force - he had everything- tipped to sign for us untill his drunken woes events happened to him!

Way before my time, but Best has been Godsend for the British public's boring but predictable fascination for talent/tragedy stories. Who cares. Move on, innit.
