Whether its for his talent as a footballer or whats happened since , theres something in George Best that everyone can love and relate to . Miss you George !!! RIP
Rowdy, spot on mate. George just did the businness, and when he was on form there was no one else like him and no player in the world could stop him by fair means or foul. I have always rated george as the greatest ever. George was a supporters joy. I remember watching him against west ham utd in 1972 but it was in 1996 i think on a video tape of footballs great players, and it showed about 12 minutes of that game and i was a bit suprised when the commentator said "and fans have been queing up since 7am this morning to see this match at upton park becouse of george best" and i had never ever heard that before. Becouse in there last game at old trafford sure george tore west ham to bits with that brilliant hatrick he got to win 4-2. But the game ended 2-2 at upton park and george scored a good goal that day. But at the start of the 1972,73 season i couldnt believe how much george had lost his ability and speed in just 5 or 6 month. It was hard to believe with a player with all that skill and how quickly he had lost it. It happend so quick. A mean 6 month isnt a very long time. But i heard he just about didnt train at all in those months and drank more! But he was still only age 26. It was sad as hell to watch.
He. Was. A lovely. Man Magic. With. His. Legs. The He. Was a. Genios. In. My Era. George. Had. His problems With. Alchoil. But. George. Was One. Of. The. Verry. Best Rip. George. We. All. Loved You. Jimmy O G.
RIP , G. Best was loved by all football lovers and I hope he found the peace that he was looking for. I like Irish people , they're warm and passionate . I'm a child of 70s and there will never be another GB
RIP you legend , you had a disease like millions around the world .. People hate on best because he was famous and a superstar but this could have been anyone in your family. Thank you best you are the all time greatest
George had magic in his feet and to the day he died he was loved by people everywhere. His funeral in Belfast was the biggest ever seen there...and besides everything else he was was a true gentleman.
Thank you your an absolute legend i think I have great potential but there's not enough teams in Ireland and thanks for not saying he's from the UK he wouldve hated if u said that
@@twistoffate4791 I’m not making excuses for him but the surgery he got made him violent if he got drunk. Of course it was his choice to drink. But it wasn’t his nature to be violent.
Paul g, i read some where that some one who knew george said "he thought more about other people than he did for himself, i always found that really strange"
Twist of fate, am sure most people if not every one has hurt some one wither its physicaly or mentaly. Becouse mental abuse can be worse. So come on try and keep it real ffs. How many people have you hurted mate?
when i was about ten years old we were on holidays in marbella stayin in a hotel right across from the beach. george best was running away from the paparazzi . my mum spotted him and told him to lie down on the sun lounger and she threw a towel over him. he was very grateful and stayed for a few photographs etc. i'll never forget that day.
Edmund power, total crap, and messi has got it so much easier with no tackling hard or from the back. Plus messi plays against wimps. Put messi in a world cup against the best teams in the world and he just hasnt got what it takes. World cups are so much harder. Exept if your maradona who won it almost himself in an average team. Even pele didnt do that. He had a brilliant team. And messi is past it now to win a world cup, so there you have it.
What a genuinely decent honest person George was despite being the best footballer of all timeit never went to his head he always had time for everybodythe Mozart of football
Hmm. Someone donated a precious liver & he basically pisses it up against the wall. Unforgivable. Great football talent. He should never have had that transplant but it makes for a better story & publicises organ donation. But only George could ruin it.
No question the greatest player with the most natural skill flair and personality today he would be making millions he lived his life during a very different time in recent history and was very much by himself and carried a great deal of pressure every single day . Greatly missed 🙏♥️
@thetwoboyos george could have had any football show he wanted and other shows as a host. But the bbc thought he was far to reliant on drinck to keep it up every week. They tried him and rodney marsh in early 1988 for the best and marsh show, but george and marsh werent the hosts they were guests, it was to really see how george would do as it was on every monday for 4 or 5 weeks. And was great, and had alot of viewers. And this was like a trial peroid. But after 5 weeks it just dissappeared, or some one disappeared? As george didnt get alot of work at that timeand he didnt turn up for alot he did get, so the bbc know all that stuff and whats going on with who. And george did speeches in old dumps for a few hundred pound. And even worse. But if he didnt have a problem with drink he would be king of any top football show. And the bbc gave george lots of work over the years. Becouse he had a huge pull on tv viewers. And what a player.
i am a liverpool through and through but this man played for man u and we all knew we hate each other;;;;; but geoge was the best footballer not in the world ///// but forever i was so lucky to see him play #### rip GEORGE
Bestie had an illness that was unrecognised but is every bit as bad as anything you can mention...such a decent human being and proud IRISHMAN....ahhh GOD BLESS GEORDIE BEST FROM A GLASGOW/IRISH CELTIC FAN....
George Best was the best football player in the world, I really wish I could say this to him "Cousin I really wish I was a great football player like you but I couldn't do you want to know why because you are the best football player in the world and the best one that I have talked to, R.I.P George
Wogan's got a fucking cheek. They left trays of booze in his dressing room, specifically so George would get drunk and play up. Wogan wasn't worth the steam from George Best's piss.
Fabulously kind words from recently departed "Parky". Today, every top football game is filmed and recorded. In Best's playing day's, re: Match of the Day or The Big Match, they chose to film just a few top games per week. Alas, think of all the great Best displays of talent that was only watched live and went unrecorded. Great shame. What we do have is marvelous, though.
Thats right. And the fouling too. The attacking nature of the game then also, has been forgotten. No passing back ,across and back again then. Tora,Tora,Tora !
george irish legend every body oww imagine if he wasn't a alcoholic he lived it his way and a Irish man with out drink life would be pretty dull I bet he had a really good time
I've just watched his story and wow, it rings so true for me as the long term partner of an alcoholic who now has cirrhosis and liver failure. The disappearing on benders for days/weeks, the letting people down and then feeling so bad about it they drink more, stages of sobriety where you get a glimpse of the man you love for a short blissful period etc. It was like my own life. And I just hope and I pray that it's not too late for him. He's only 40 and we have children together. If he were to get a liver transplant I've worried about the possibility that he'd see it as a fresh new organ and drink again and end up like George here. It's so sad, horrible disease.
Tavy@ best was the greatest player in the world between 1966 to 1971. Then in 1972-73 he wasnt half the player he was or any where near it. He was the quickest player to go downhill that i know, and at only 25, 26 he was done! It was really sad, a real tragedy!
George was brilliant, and it was, unfortunately, Sir Matt who decided to build the team around Bobby Charlton instead of George that began his descent into booze and depression.
he was conceited, he was egotistical, he was eccentric and flamboyant, but he was a pioneer in football and a role model for hundreds of thousands of men across the world. He was unfortunate to suffer an illness which causes millions of people a great deal of trouble and heartache and I do not believe for one minute that he ENJOYED being an alcoholic. Why cant people remember him for the footballing genius that he was, and remember his positive characteristics instead of his negative ones? RIP.
Joel williams, i was thinking wogan was smirking becouse george didnt tell the truth about wogan and his back room team that supplied best with all that drink to GET him drunk, becouse alot of viewers dont know that they have stand in guests incase something happens and it did happen, they knew george was drunk and still allowed him on when they didnt need to. They set george up, every one knows it. But typical george he refused to tell the truth just to keep the peace and you can see here george jokes about it to cover up the true story and wogan knew he would. Thats why wogan had to ask about it strait away, to get it out the way. But george slipped up big time becouse he was making a joke about it. As in wogan said to him you were ok 3 minutes before you came on? Wich was a lie. Ye cant be ok 1 minute then 3 minutes later end up drunk. So he put george on an awkward spot, to wich he said "terry you would be suprised how MUCH an irish man can drink in 3 minutes, it was a long walk" so 3 minutes to go and they still allowed a drunken george to keep drinking as much as he wanted. So it was a set up from the start. I was only age 17 when i remember watching it on tv at the time, i knew strait away he had been drinking when he walked on stage and shook hands. At first my dad said hes drunck. And i said a know and best tried to act sober and was doing ok he wasnt being daft and was so true when talking about how england did in the world cup 2 month before. And i said to my dad i cant believe the bbc have allowed him to go on like that? Then best said he liked screwing then wogan finished it. Then i notice when omar shereif came on best was still sitting next to him for about 3 minutes as you could see him clearly, then they took him off the set altogether. When the camera was on omar you could see best wasnt there. I didnt think the bbc would sink so low, it was sad as hell to imagine that the bbc did set that up weeks in advance becouse george said in his book the viewing had dropped to next to nothing but when he went on drunck about 14 million had tunend in to watch it. As the bbc were going to axe the show but best safed it for about a year.
It's interesting, some people have been touched by Best's compassion and personality as a person. They're really passionate when they talk about how great a person he was. Interesting, wha?
Tavy@ best wasnt just the greatest player in the world between 1966 to 1971 he was the greatest entertainer too! better than any tv show. George best was a one off. A miracle. After 1972-73 he had lost his great speed, his dribbling, his extremely high jumping ability to head the ball, his speed of thought. He still had his great control, he could still pass long and short with either foot, he was still brave. But he wasnt half the player he was! And at 25 it was sad! If he played on till he was 36 he wouldv proved he WAS the greatest player ever thats another 10 years on top of what he did, becouse we didnt see the best of him! Every time a see that lob against spurs in 1971 the one big pat jennings trys to punsh clear but it falls to best who takes it on hes chest then lobbs it over big pat and the rest of the defence whos on the goal line and george is at least 16 yards from goal and he clears them all and it drops under the bar exhibiting sublime execution gauged to the very inch! It sends a shiver down ma back when a see it. In 1981 a first saw best do that and had never saw it done before. I was only 8 at the time and a said to my dad who was that there dad? He said thats george best son, with a bit of sadness in hes eyes! Now a know why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine being told your the greatest footballer in the world with loads of money in your back pct and a a string of girls in tow.would you want to go out in the cold windy day with it pouring rain training when you could stay in bed with a miss world or other stunning girl and a pct full of money and the chance of champagne and steak when you fancied it .I would have been dead before him he was the first pop star footballer and all the adulation and fame was too much for him
This is the fourth interview I've seen about great George in one evening. And I am so FUCKED UP - with the others - the interviewers, and the guests - they ar SO on their BIG HORSES - looking down. WHAT THE F*** HAVE THEY DONE? And the humble George, answers and answers, clothes himself naked - honest - wow - he was a just not one of the greatest on the field, he was also one of the greatest in situations like these......
the post asks "no comments, please". then I am not going to comment. this is not intended to be a comment. you (doesn't matter who or what You are) is totally forbidden about liking, disliking or answering that, since It's not a comment. and Wogan was very famous, and George Best not. then the very famous "Wogan" (sic), though He was so good and smart and funny, to play over Best and his sad problem due to alcohol.
who's better, George Best or Cristiano Ronaldo? Serious question, because I wasn't around when Georgie was destroying teams as a United player, different generation and all whilst I've witnessed almost everything Cristiano has done from his early days at United right up to his Ballon d' Or-winning performances at Real Madrid now..
Squidrito maybe not, but you can't argue that Ronaldo has achieved and won more in his football career so far than George Best did in his, as he retired at quite an early age. He probably would've been the greatest of all time had he stayed on playing and not let alcohol affect his footballing career, just my opinion.
iclark2400 Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't reached the level of a GREAT LEGEND. If he continues then Yes, he can become like the second Stanley Matthews but for now he has not reached that status.
Squidrito I think he's already the greatest football player in the history of the game, but of course that's just my opinion. Again he may not be as naturally gifted as Messi or Best, but he makes up for that with hard work & dedication, and his goal tally for club and country really speaks for itself :)
I had a friend who looked like George very much. He sadly died of an overdose on Heroin in Stockholm in 2010.
RIP to both of them ❤
Whether its for his talent as a footballer or whats happened since , theres something in George Best that everyone can love and relate to . Miss you George !!! RIP
George Best. The most NATURAL FOOTBALLER of my age, no one near his ability. No daft tricks, he didn't need them.

The TV is so prim and proper a total joke especially with the BBC having the nerve to put Jimmy Saville on TV.
I saw a doc-op by his son, Colum. It was about his father’s alcoholism and it was heartbreaking.
Yes, M Leibs, I, too, watched it and indeed it was heartbreaking. God, was it ever.
Look at footage of George in his pomp. 30 years ahead of his time.
Heartbreaking that he suffered from the most horendous killer disease in the word alcoholism
so he was beyond;it just was not possible describe his skill
George Best, The Chelsea crowd miss you.
Such a cool guy! Magical person!
Fabulously kind words from recently departed "Parky". Today, every top football game is filmed and recorded.

You are so right, just imagine what he could do on today's pitches,,he would be unstoppable.
Thats right. And the fouling too. The attacking nature of the game then also, has been forgotten. No passing back ,across and back again then. Tora,Tora,Tora !

Where is the full interview on Wogan, where George says "fuck"?
We. Cannot judge this man. 👍
What a legend he realy was! YNWA George!
genius.
Wogan can talk, He was always pissed at eurovision.
the most correct word is "unique" for him, right?
People tend to forget that an awful lot of what Best did was not seen on tv.
George was a very special guy, the least of it was his football skills. TW no comment !

Should read to the curate of that church😊
the problem was people enjoyed his company so much when he was out drinking that he never became a nuisance and that perpetuated his alcoholism

After 1972-73 he had lost his great speed, his dribbling, his extremely high jumping ability to head the ball, his speed of thought. He still had his great control, he could still pass long and short with either foot, he was still brave. But he wasnt half the player he was! And at 25 it was sad! If he played on till he was 36 he wouldv proved he WAS the greatest player ever thats another 10 years on top of what he did, becouse we didnt see the best of him! Every time a see that lob against spurs in 1971 the one big pat jennings trys to punsh clear but it falls to best who takes it on hes chest then lobbs it over big pat and the rest of the defence whos on the goal line and george is at least 16 yards from goal and he clears them all and it drops under the bar exhibiting sublime execution gauged to the very inch! It sends a shiver down ma back when a see it. In 1981 a first saw best do that and had never saw it done before. I was only 8 at the time and a said to my dad who was that there dad? He said thats george best son, with a bit of sadness in hes eyes! Now a know why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine being told your the greatest footballer in the world with loads of money in your back pct and a a string of girls in tow.would you want to go out in the cold windy day with it pouring rain training when you could stay in bed with a miss world or other stunning girl and a pct full of money and the chance of champagne and steak when you fancied it .I would have been dead before him he was the first pop star footballer and all the adulation and fame was too much for him
He did stay in bed with miss world he did have steak, and chips, and he was still better than everybody when he played football.
This is the fourth interview I've seen about great George in one evening.
And I am so FUCKED UP - with the others - the interviewers, and the guests - they ar SO on their BIG HORSES - looking down. WHAT THE F*** HAVE THEY DONE?
And the humble George, answers and answers, clothes himself naked - honest - wow - he was a just not one of the greatest on the field, he was also one of the greatest in situations like these......
. . . well what do you do when you're not playing football? . . . . .
You can see he's bloated in almost all his interviews. I remember that well, about 1/2 my life was that way. Happy and sad times, throughout.
IT'S FUNNY HOW WE JOKE ABOUT ALCOHOL ABUSE AND DON,T JOKE ABOUT HEROIN ABUSE!!!??
UN GRAN JUGADOR Y BUENA PERSONA EL QUINTO BEATLES
RIP Georgie Best...
0:19 nout wrong with that
Not sure he was a great role model, but great player...
Imagine best on modern pitches
the post asks "no comments, please". then I am not going to comment. this is not intended to be a comment. you (doesn't matter who or what You are) is totally forbidden about liking, disliking or answering that, since It's not a comment. and Wogan was very famous, and George Best not. then the very famous "Wogan" (sic), though He was so good and smart and funny, to play over Best and his sad problem due to alcohol.
i clark, bestie was the best
What a waste of a human kidney that could have saved somebody worthwhile.
+archiecat11 pity it wasn't yours
archiecat11 What a hateful , not to mention inaccurate comment to make.
🤡
What kidney?
who's better, George Best or Cristiano Ronaldo? Serious question, because I wasn't around when Georgie was destroying teams as a United player, different generation and all whilst I've witnessed almost everything Cristiano has done from his early days at United right up to his Ballon d' Or-winning performances at Real Madrid now..
iclark2400 There's no way Ronaldo is better than Best. Best was a god amongs mortals.
Squidrito maybe not, but you can't argue that Ronaldo has achieved and won more in his football career so far than George Best did in his, as he retired at quite an early age. He probably would've been the greatest of all time had he stayed on playing and not let alcohol affect his footballing career, just my opinion.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't reached the level of a GREAT LEGEND. If he continues then Yes, he can become like the second Stanley Matthews but for now he has not reached that status.
Squidrito I think he's already the greatest football player in the history of the game, but of course that's just my opinion. Again he may not be as naturally gifted as Messi or Best, but he makes up for that with hard work & dedication, and his goal tally for club and country really speaks for itself :)
iclark2400 ahaha I respect ur oppinion. In my oppinion, in maybe 2-3 years he can be on the same level as Eusebio and Garrincha.
