    Fantastic player no doubt but I would put Maradonna above him and above Ronaldo and Messi. Shame the two who have left us suffered major health and mental issues ( some certainly self inflicted) RIP George.

    “I spent it on women booze and fast cars, the rest I wasted!”

    I think the greatest boxer was fellow Yorkshireman Richard Dunn

    My brother did this advert with him.
    E for B and Georgie Best became a chant on the terraces at old Trafford.

  11. One of the greatest footballers, and not bad with the quotes either. My favourite "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

    In sunny Bradford no less. I think it’s going to be pulled down though.

    George always saddened me when he was alive. Such a tremendous talent then the demon drink and fame claimed him. Watching him on a TV chat show when he was near the end - after his liver transplant which was successful as long as he stopped drinking - and he didn't - such a waste - and he was younger than me.
