Maybe the best ever interview with George. None of the Miss World nonsense. George was a highly intelligent man, a very high IQ from what we understand. Such an element of sadness about him though. A tragedy and yet he lives on in our memory. What a footballer, none better before, none better since. The original Rock Star.
Such a brilliant footballer.
love him
❤
I have known a few people who fought with alcoholism, and it gains a grip on people. I look back with sadness on what happened to Best, but it is also good that people remember his sporting genius. And as Jeremy D said, he was a highly intelligent man.
Jeremy dee, its becouse hes sober. I have saw george in alot of tv interviews and you can tell strait away that hes had a drinck. He starts of cockey and even down grading himself but hes not drunck hes just had enough to not be out of order and he struggles through interviews trying to act sober. But when totally sober hes great to listen too. And you get fed up listening to hes 3 or 7 miss world conquests. He really only had 2. Mary stavin and majorie wallace. Caroline moore won miss great britain not miss world. So he says 3 or 4 but do you notice he never names them all. And majorie wallace was only a 5 job lol then got him into alot of trouble saying he stole her money, coat, passport. When he starts on about the miss worlds most if not all of its all lies. He had the money scatterd over the bed story with 30 grand and the irish waiter saying where did it all go wrong mr best? Didnt happen. George admitted it himself, yes he dated mary for 2 years i remember that, but that story was made up becouse it sounded good. Stavin even admitted it didnt happen and said george was bad for making storys up just for the press to pay him alot of money. She said when i mett him in 1981 he was so skint i had to buy him clothes and he was basicly homeless he was staying at is inlaws so i rented out a flat for us and kept him going in drinck till he started to make a bit of money wich wasnt much? He was just earning a few hundred a week if that, i was still making alot of money modeling and being miss world pays well for a while. But i was shocked at how skint george was. As i knew alot about him and he was never skint as far as i had knew. But this was 1981 8 years since he retired then went to america but angie had got rid of him and he had no option but to come home to earm a living as he was now 36 and wasnt known in the states he had be in london or manchester to earn a living and for about 6 month no one wanted to give him any work becouse he was untrustable due to being drunck, he had to get old friends to help him out as he wasnt as famous as he was alot of these friends didnt want to know. George told me all this while we waited on better days, he said a will get work mary once the public know am back to stay. A said what are you going to do or what do you want to do and he said i dont have a clue, all i know is football and he ended up playing for bournmouth just to for money and he lasted 3 weeks becouse he was still good but never the same as he was or even near it. He even said angie had to pay for his plane fair home then the taxman said he owed 32 grand from playing for fulham it was a real blow when he was skint but he was adamant he didnt owe anything as he had paid tax all his life plus the clubs deal with that. And that made sense. So he declared himself bankrupt but he was skint any way and he laughed at it one day. But i could see he only lived for the day and didnt care what came next. As if he was still very famous he would always get bye, but in is way but a told him he wasnt in that position anymore and had to get a job that meant a good weakly income like tv work but he had to turn up at the right time and not when he wanted too, then his drincking was still bad. I had to leave him.
Lovely interview. Beneath the bravado and sordid headlines, there was a sweet, shy, human being with primal doubts and insecurities; like we all have. Fame kills. Rest in peace, George. 💜
George , you were the best footballer in the world , God bless you x
What an absolute beautiful interview. Geo IS human after all.
You can't help but Love Him. It is sad that he died too young but if you think about it, like he said he lived a full life and did achieved things in his life that many only dream of. He packed in more living in a few years that many don't in an entire lifetime.
This is an excellent interview, the best I've seen. George is a very thoughtful, perceptive and humorous person. Excellent interviewer Roisín McCauley.
amazing human being...thank you George
It's a real pleasure watching all the interviews of George here on UA-cam.
What a thoughtful, honest and genuine fellow. He's certainly much more than a superstar footballer. A wonderful ambassador for Ireland.
Northern Ireland*

I've never meet should racist and uneducated people anywhere else

Shocking
@@IsaacAsimov1992 you shouldn't , people don't like Aussies for a reason
Ireland is the operative word.
I wish he was still alive it really saddened me when he passed away a football genius and will never ever be replicated in this life or the next. I wish I was born 30 years earlier to see him play in the flesh,god bless yer bestie 👊👏❤️
So do I! 4 yrs since ur comment. Only stumbled on this interview lately. Seems those who feel too much struggle to protect their inner self and tend to self-medicate with external stuff. Esp if they dont talk and share the pain maybe for fear of rejection or criticism.
You are being remembered as the BEST! No pun intended :)
I had the good fortunes of meeting you and I will always cherish that. R.I.P ♥️
george was a great footballer .lived the way he wanted to. he knew how bad alcohol was. her could not help himself. addiction is very hard to beat. he made his bed and died in it rip george
Good interviewer, and George was always a good interviewee if you would let him.
fatbelly27 how smart was he. So special
Ask question, and/or make a point, and get out of the way, then h⁵⁵⁵0
Over the years I have seen many interviews with various celebrities but this in my opinion is the best (no pun) interview ever.
He was so special
What a great man!... so eloquent and honest!... also one of the greatest players to ever live!
Great interview, so good.
The paper back,”The good the bad
and the bubbly”,worth chasing up,
and easy to read!
Alcoholism. Kills some of our best people.
Yes very sad 🥲his mother died of alcoholism at the age of 50
Kathy G, just a wee one for the noted, no one is better or more important than any one? People just thinck they are. Wich is an alusion
Your right!
The most naturally gifted player ever to walk this earth 🙌
One fine Irish man ❤️
True icon. RIP sir
excellent interview, great upload
The greatest in my opinion!!!!
Love bestie absolute legend
Check the accent. Bless you Geo. Wasn't old enough to remember your playing days. You are a legend from Norn Irn. ❤👌
The best
Noel Edmonds has a great interview with George.
Brilliant interview, Roisin McAuley!
For those who can handle it alcohol is a nice aspect to life. Sadly George was maybe not in control of his alcohol addiction as he portrays here. Part of alcoholism is the extent to which the person lies to themselves. His comment about having a drink when he feels like it really sums it up for me.
He chose to continue drinking..to say its a disease is total nonsense overall...and more therapy should be put into Self Responsibility...not it being some out of control medical condition...induviduals choose to drink or inject or snort etc.
@@iancrombie8862 initially yes but once it takes a hold of them it overcomes them unless they can find the strength to resist the temptation.
@@athlone1975 sadly Besty wasnt good at resisting most temptation.He is clearly up there with Pele,Maradonna,Cruyff,
...
legend
Alcohol took 3 geniuses in their field, George best, gerry rafferty, rory gallagher😔⚽🎷🎸
Many others too. Alex Higgins is another that comes to mind
The man was an exceptional football legend until he was
twenty seven.The black and white footage of his
football still stands out,very stylish
and very swish!
George was human.Like the rest of us...qualities and faults.His just a little more extream perhaps.He was richly talented(in multiple ways)but had his flaws.Pleads an eloquent case but has one too many cases to plead.But hey who is without fault
My hero
Best by name best by nature
Callum thorn, is it just me or did his name even sound better than any other name lol wich sounds mad. But to many people have said the same as me. No he had a special name, some would say, or i love his name the woman would say. What a player, what a man. Rip george and thancks
George Best Married a lass from America and I Married a lass from America...Happy Days...
They don't come much nicer than that
Alcohol, cunning, powerful and Baffling! my good old friend takes many little boys.
The reason I support Man Utd
Oh Dem. ohhhhh Dem.

All ireland
No alcohol treatment worked,as sadly George refused to stop drinking and clearly couldnt drink in moderation.
He drank I. Pubs not at home I think he drank for company like a lot of men going pub was abour being part of society being wanted and needed by others
2 out of 3 aint bad👍
Looks very young here
50
He was dead 9 years later
6 years later he they were relegated 74 , does blame everyone but himself
I like George I think callum is a bit of a knob though.
Drinking is the best
George was fifty here..he looks ten years older.
