- “A beautiful player. He could score from whatever angle, right side, left side, centre. He was just a marvellous player.” (Denis Law about George Best)
Music: John Coltrane - Witches Pit
Utter genius. Some years before he died, I was in a bar in the Kings Road in London. George was in there standing alone at the bar. He was meant to be in rehab but was drinking. It didn't take long fir him to be surrounded by fans, all of whom wanted to buy him a drink. Sadly those people didn't realise the damage they were doing.
big fan of the use of a jazz improv over a comp instead of a generic trap beat
Porra cara, que elegância!
The best british player of all times
He was Irish.
@@mickeymcmoore5412 north irish
@@patrickjonkers9765 I'm not sure someone from N. Ireland would like being called "British" (regardless of modern political / economic affiliations). :-)
He's from Northern Ireland Great Britain, and given the area of Belfast where he was from I think he would deffinetly call himself British
@@stivgmfc Actually he was quoted as saying 'someday i'd like to play in all Ireland team. Also his teammates always referred to him as Irishman. These are facts.
His agility, balance and close control is just unbelievable. Players like best cannot be replicated. One of the greatest geniuses ever.
BETTER THAN PESSI
@@jorgegabrielgarciagutierre1722 Messi gano un mundial! Vos que hiciste por tu pais?
It's like watching a hybrid of Giggs' ballance and Hazard's close control.
Put on a pair of 1960s football boots and kick a 1960s football around on a terrible pitch. Then watch this again and appreciate it.
Yes, now imagine if he played with todays boots and football on todays immaculate pitches and not allowed to be tackled like today, where would jessi and cr7 be? 2 and 3 minus 5 balon dors each.
@@MegaChrissy2012 he wouldn't make the team unprofessional
with a load of hard defenders trying to break yr legs!, best ever forever.
My thoughts exactly, plus opponents trying to hack you down
Not as bad a people make it out to be but at the same time more challenging than today.
Immeasurable talent, one of the greatest geniuses in football history.
You are so kind
@@robertkennedy2408 lmao
His balance, footwork, bodysweve, ball control, bravery, vision, speed, oh heck he had it all.
He had extraordinary balance, they way he rode challenges on those heavy pitches was simply unbelievable. He was a genius, a true great in every sense of the word.
George best every body in the 70.s wanted to see him play brilliant could go around players like a joke never give up even if he lost the ball shame it came to booze which his mother died of aswell wasted career rip George
Imagine him plays excellently with that field and grass
Maradona Good, Pelè Better, George Best
Julio Zapata messi best of all time
Kemajl Emerllahu 😂😂😂😂
Delhi Cuba Baez look in what time George has played look mistakes of defenders George in our time would look like noob
@@kemajlemerllahu1570 lol what aload of shite. He made them look like that because they couldnt deal with his dribbling skills.. Also if he played nowdays hed be even better the quality of the pitches back then were much harder to play on. He also never dived and he played in an era were the defenders would go right through people with 2 feet chalanges he never even wore shin guards either
@@darrendevine3474 ur opinion my opinion messi>george
I like it how if anyone tried to tackle him he did not roll around in the ground screaming in agony. Maybe if today's footballers watched how he kept going they too might score a few.
youre wrong if he played today hed roll around too
@@nietzchepreacher9477
No he would not roll around. Even today there are players that will not roll around.
en esa época había que ser bravo, en varias escenas se le ve avanzando entre una lluvia de patadas y planchazos. No podría asegurar que un futbolista de ahora se hubiera adaptado a ese fútbol...
Los terrenos de juego eran horribles...barro, agua y buen césped muy pocas veces
Además el balon era mas pesado, y aun asi lanzaba tremendos misiles con ambas piernas.
Nato in Irlanda del Nord nel 1946, ama il calcio fin da bambino, ma il suo esile corpo lo penalizza agli
occhi di molti, che non vedono in lui il talento naturale che poi si rivelerà.
In una partita del Creghag
Boy's Club, squadra giovanile in cui giocava Best, quindicenne, contro il Boysland, con giocatori diciottenni,
George segna ben due gol e viene notato dagli osservatori del Manchester United.
Debuttera' con il Manchester in prima squadra a 17 anni nel dicembre del 1963 , diventa presto una stella della
squadra , nel 1965 vince il campionato inglese e nel 1966 nei quarti di finale di coppa dei Campioni contro
il Benfica di Eusebio e Coluna gioca una partita mostruosa che lo elevano a nuovo astro nascente del football Mondiale ,
Best trascina i suoi ad una clamorosa vittoria esterna per 5-0 e i giornali di tutto il mondo il giorno dopo escono con
titoloni
a caratteri cubitali , un quotidiano portoghese lo definisce il quinto Beatles , nomignolo rimastogli addosso ,
tuttavia anche per l'assenza di Best in semifinale il Manchester e' sconfitto dal Partizan Belgrado.
Nel 1967 il Manchester riesce a vincere ancora il campionato inglese potendo cosi avere una seconda chance in coppa dei
campioni l'anno a venire , nel 68 arriva in finale a Wembley e l'avversario e'ancora il Benfica di Eusebio e Coluna ,
dopo l'1-1 dei tempi regolamentari e' Best che sigla il 2-1 che mette il via alla vittoria degli inglesi , George gol a
parte gioca una partita stratosferica , a fine anno vince il pallone d'oro , sembra l'inizio di una folgorante carriera
avendo il talento solo 22 anni ma a causa della sua condotta di vita disennata sara' solo l'inizio del baratro.
Best e' un donnaiolo incallito che la notte impazzisce se non riesce a trovare come disse lui stesso > col tempo pero' le sue uscite notturne diventano anche occassioni per bere alcol a litri ,
in breve diventa un alcolizzato molto grave .
Comincia a saltare gli allenamenti e una giornata tipo dei suoi ultimi anni al Manchester era la seguente :
Grazie mille,sei gentilissimo
IS ONLY ☝️ BEST
GEORGIE
REST IN PEACE
LEGEND
thank you for your memories
dribbling at that speed and having the control of the ball... that's BEST for u!!!! thanks for the video.
Although the images we have left, which are not always of very good quality, it is a delight to see what he was able to do, and in fields that were often in very poor conditions, impressive, spectacular.
For me, without a doubt the best.
Um jogador de fundamento
Ágil, afiado e habil, nenhum defensor era páreo pra ele, chutava certinho de fora da área chute chapado, era bom cabeceador e a força motriz ofensiva do time do Man.United
George Best Rip Campione❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍💐🌸💐🌸💐😢😢😢🤣🤣🤣😥😥😥😭😭😭😞😔😞😔😞
Se non avesse iniziato a bere all'80% sarebbe vivo😓😪
We all know Best was great - esp as a UK -based player. He was more direct dribbler than using 'crazy' skills (see Pele best bits to see how many tricks and skills he sued in comparison). I see a lot of Best in Maradona's game (who, in turn, added more tricks and skills in general). R9 took the game to a whole new level.
and messi
you can talk about your messis and ronaldos all you want this guy was the best player i ever saw
WELLBRAN by the same narrative imagine Messi or Ronaldo back then?take your time and think about that
@@oliver69cork46 The ball would have been to heavy as would their kit and the ground too muddy.
They would have not got away with some of the most ridiculous fouls.
Compared with George??
A bunch of silly school girls!!
Triplex 29 yes as youd like to imagine you're right-what nonsense to compare the game fifty years ago to now.george best would have struggled today with their greater speed and technical ability. compare him to Pele,no doubt you're so deluded you think best is better!! best played a few games in ireland, useless he was and typically disappointed everyone.
@@oliver69cork46 Absolute idiot you are. You cannot comment on how football was back then if you did not live through it. The ground was clearly much harder to play on meaning you had to have an extremely elite level of ball control and balance, and with the tackles you could get away with back in those days, it made it much harder for him. So from all that Best would have probably thrived in this generation, you must be blind or just plain stupid😂
@@oliver69cork46 There's barely players played for N Ireland most of them played for the republic so that's why Best barely played for N Ireland
That tackle at 4:57 would prolly kill the likes of Neymar on the spot🤣🤣
If only he did not love drinking that much .Best he still the best player of all time even better than messi in my opinion.
logic 2000 so therefore the game hasn't moved a single millimetre in near 50 years? best wouldn't shine too brightly in today's game with its hyper speed,technical superiority and fitness levels. reverse a commonly held comparison, imagine Messi or Ronaldo back then?
Nowadays the field so much better than george best era..you can imagine how difficult to control the ball that time & present time...
@@oliver69cork46
They wouldn't have gone on the pitch because it would have been beneath them and Messi and Ronaldo would still be rolling over if Chopper Harris had tackled them like that!
All of u are fools to compare him with messi, ronny etc. They played in a different era of football with its own special conditions in which comparisions simply can't be made. One can argue best was probably the best during his time but at the same time its foolishness to compare messi Or ronaldo with him. Different era=different football
The fifth member of The Beatles
You just cant teach that, you can try but it’s not a learned thing, he’s as much a legend in Belfast now as he was back then, hes was just pure here!
Jesus saves but best scores on the rebound
man so ahead of his times .
What could he have done with today's ball on today's pitch......
If George Best was around and playing today, would the media eat him alive for his lifestyle outside the pitch?
No doubt. But if he was playing today I don’t think he’d be able to maintain his off field antics due to today’s professionalism.
@@dryames4319
Players in Bests day were far tougher than today. Many of them played on with very serious injury that would leave players sidelined for a whole season today.
The professionalism today is a sign of weakness.
Love to see the wankers these days do half the stuff best did my father had the privilege to meet the guy.❤️
Most talented player ever. Career cut short but this is no doubt the most naturally gifted footballer ever. Ive never seen an attacker who could beat you so many ways at top speed... no wasted movement in his attacking runs... doesn't let the trailing defenders catch up and he finishes. I love Messi too and he does a lot of the same things, just not quite as well as Best
Dribbling and speed is practice, noone is born great at football. Best played on the streets as a kid, always practicing.
There has been way more genetically fast and strong players than best, skill matters in football
If his movements were this good on a muddy pitch, with them old fashion boots and footballs, how good he would be today with proper training
He was so selfish..but he was the best❤❤
One of my all time icons as i'm a United fan
Thnx for the upload
@tigerarmyrule "there's Bestie and then there are other idols"
Well said man👌
Best player to wear #7 at United
Always two steps ahead in his thoughts. Cunning like the fox
Habil, rápido, vertical, fuerte, goleador, tenáz e irrepetible
Jazz ? really ?
George Best deserve Rock & Roll
Maybe...but rock & roll for him was too predictable in my opinion
@
Best's off-field life was that of a true rock star.
A tribute for Best should have been with Rock & Roll music.
@@capitanfuturo594 nah witches pit fits this perfectly
Best is the best football player of world football of all time, because he played football best!
John Coltrane man, great choice.
original wonder boy ! wonderful!! Before Johan Cruyff there was George best.
Bruh they were the same age LMAO
Didn't they play around the same time (although Best retired first)?
A Sorcerer in the Witches Pit, a class act with Best & Coltrane, and a good video thanks.
Great background music! Thanks!
Legend👌👌👌
These are absurd skills
great channel!
George Best
You are a Fantastic Football player
You are the Best

Good bye the Belfast boy
World legend

holy sh*t love this song, good choice
He turns premiere level opposition players into clowns; all around him. Amazing to see!...Him mek man look fool!
Great vid... thanks for the upload :)
Thank you!

Bestie. We will never see the likes of him again . A very special genius on the pitch .
di stefano, maradona, platini, zico, messi and man united cr7 where basically best
Hearing them say debryune and robben is better, even if Ronaldo was scoring so much goals, these players would do better with todays football and alongside players like platini, marradona, Pele, bro ballon dor wouldn’t have been for those two alone. But yeah they did their time and it’s all ❤
very effective and straight forward dribbling, not a second wasted
'If I was born ugly, you would have never have heard of Pele' - George Best
Feel for the game.
Parece Messi con destellos de Ronaldinho cuando toca y arranca, pero me recuerda mucho más a Paul Scholes
When you know how to use your legs and your head
Dribblava come Messi , grande sinistro e fantasia in mia opinione nei primi 10 giocatori per classe.
Il 5' Beatles , era l emblema di genio fuori dagli schemi.
Cool! But in video with George Best must be Rock-n-roll )))
Excelente 🔥 Before match or trainin I always watch GOL movie and then put on playlist Delta Parole, Sumersed, SoaD for warmup and then GO GO GOOOLLL!!!!!
Tavy@ george best was the greatest player in the world from 1966 to 1972 and we hadnt seen the best of him. I would have to say he was the greatest player of all time becouse of the heavy pitches they played on then with heavier balls no shin pads plus tackling from the back was allowed then! Now a days best would be sensational!!!!!!!!!!!
Pele was too me
Best was an amazing dribbler, complete attacker, Pele was stronger, faster, both footed, better in the air, great dribbler too, great scorer. Best was not as strong or a better aerial player, Pele is the best too me
Speed kills
The state of some of those "tackles". You would get 5 years for GBh for most of those today.
That's why football is shit now haven't watched a match in 6 years 👍
FFS said Sir Matt don't fuck about just give it to George
Trane and george!👏👍⚽️🎷
The most rock n' roll player in history, known as El Beatle, gets a jazz accompaniment?
Incidentally, just an opinion, the idea of having period appropriate music is a cool one but the jazz you're using just doesn't work. Some kinds of music work with football vids some don't. There are other period styles of music that'd be worth mixing it up with -more rhythmic jazz, a fantastic era for blues, doo-wop etc.?
Anyway, another great video compilation as ever.
Thanks for your opinion, I believe this music it's good for me, sorry if it's not for you.
Only intended to be constructive criticism. If I don't dig the music I can just turn the volume down. The football's always great.
I really appreciate it. I was also undecided if put a classic music (Mozart, Vivaldi,). A rock n' roll music for George Best sounds too predictable for me. Anyway, if you turn the volume down, which track do you suggest for this video?
Well that's definitely putting me on the spot! If it was me, then for George I'd definitely go with 60s rock and I've stuck with British stuff coz it's Georgie Best..
The first thing that occurred to me would be How Does It Feel to Feel by The Creation which is a little off the beaten track. I think that both Sunshine of Your Love and also Strange Brew by Cream would work well. If you wanted to have something specifically Northern Irish then I Can Only Give You Everything by Them works brilliantly and really matches the kind of energy that George brought to the game.
If you were dead set against rock then there is plenty of Blues that'd suit George well. King Bee by Slim Harpo, Hate to See You Go and also Key to the Highway by Little Walter, Dust My Broom by Elmore James, Boom Boom Boom or Boogie Chillun by John Lee Hooker, Help Me or Bring It On Home by Sonny Boy Williamson would all be winners for me.
Well, that was fun to answer so thanks for that. I do enjoy a music dilemma.
I know all the tracks that you've mentioned, great tracks (I love them and many of them have a small length), I'd add also some songs of Guess Who and The Kinks to your list. And John Lee Hooker is a legend! But for some reasons my idea for a George Best's video was completely different, when everyone's expecting a rock n' roll video, I prefer to get a different point of view.
Anyway it's always a pleasure to know people who loves great music like you. Thank you.
The pitch's back then were so bad I'm surprised there wasn't cow shit all over the place.
Today the grass is smooth as glass.
George Best, The Genius that's the perfect word
Thank you
I don’t think that even Maradona could do some of the things Best could do with ease.
Yes he could. They were both genius players who were different in stature but could score similarly spectacle goals.
Georgie Best, an astonishing player of ball dexterity with either feet, backed up with balletic balance , pace, power & a once in a life time, sublime, ball juggling dribbling...Should have matched Johan Cruyff throughout the 1970s for the title of best player in the world being only a year older than Cruyff, but, sadly self destructed after 26 & never really got to see, the full flowering of his brilliance during a players peak years, between 26 to 32, like we did with Cruyff.
yah and that's playing on a cow field
An artist : glib,a little trash but he always did whant he wanted..
O homem era bom mesmo mas como todo gênio, refém dos seus atos.
He can dribble and Shoot!!
Electric footie
once upon a time it was all jazz
George Boozed, the best boozer in the world!
holy fuck was he good
Se avesse avuto la testa, oltre ai piedi.....
Ridiculously agile
he played like messi
At times, he was simply unplayable, George Best was a gift from the Gods
Crack ⚽
I like the jazz
no doubt a legend but those who persist to say he's the best ever must ask themselves seriously-its nearly 50 years ago and has football not moved on at all? how would he do today with the technically superior compared to that age?the faster,fitter super athletes today that are hyper fit? take bjorn bjorg,a master of his time but his comeback coincided with a changed game that he couldn't adapt to-is that what happened to best who faded away? Pele scored over 1000 goals and starred in world cups and was consistently great so to compare to these two is a non event. Best was super talented no doubt,exciting and delightful but self destructed with alcohol.
could todays players do what he could do on mudbaths for pitches and with a heavier ball and crunching tackles ...i highly doubt it
Stephen Boyes todays players would easily with higher fitness and technical ability still do better, how ever could you compare the game fifty years ago against today is not even comparable. has anything moved on.
@@oliver69cork46 i cant even watch todays football its terrible overpaid wankers and prima donnas
Stephen Boyes and that's why you think the way you do,living in the past but if you're happy then why not.
@@oliver69cork46 hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha I'd sooner watch men play football than a bunch of millionaire Wussies diving about like a bunch of girls...the game has gone mate...theres no spirit left ...sooner watch netball
Should of been kept in luxury by Manchester United after the image he gave to the club. He’s part of the reason we’re loved all over the world.
5to beatle
some say bk in the days of Bestie, defenders whould come crashing in and make the first move. So be it. Only Best though could temp them then take them to the cleaners. Rip bro
the defenders look like bots, falling all over the place on bad pitches
Privileged to have seen the Holy Trinity play against Spurs at WHL in the 70s. What a line up. Three of the greatest players these islands have produced.
Insanely good
George Best was n' t good; he was brilliant.!
Genius
Maradona
Pele
Cruyff
George best
Messi y Los demas payasos q no se asercan a estas 5 leyendas aunque Messi es actual igual Sera una leyenda cuando deje El futbol
The closest thing to Messi I recall seeing
He was better than Messi or Ronaldo. He was on a par with Pele, Maradona and Beckenbauer.
I packed George besylt in match attax after watching this vid he was a legend and no1 know the longest He was sober for
Grandissimo giocatore e bel video, ma il sottofondo musicale è orrendo. Questione di gusti, naturalmente.
Never a more entertaining player, George was the Best.
what a talent, alcohol ruined him
Masmerizing Dribbling ability 👍👏🙏
Look at this and then tell me that CR7 is better...
