George Best quotes 10:23 - Nov 25 with 1103 viewsKeithHaynes

Passed away 16 years ago today.

Here’s a few.
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life."

Was he the best footballer this four flagged country ever produced ?

Most talented certainly but he was finished by the time he hit his mid twenties.

What a player.
Saw him play at the Vetch for Northern Ireland against Wales.
Dai Powell kicked him mercilessly off the field that day.

George Best was probably the best player ability wise from the 'UK' ever, he was fantastic.

Continually being banned by Planet Swans for Porthcawl and then being reinstated.

My all time favourite.

However Sir Alex Ferguson puts John Charles above him as the greatest ever from the UK.

An outstanding natural talent but sadly the booze had well and truly got a grip of him and by the age of 26/27 he was finished at the top level.

Tried to keep going in his late 20s and went to Fulham at 30 I think it was but by then he was a shadow of the once great player he was. His fitness had deserted him and he was running on soft sand by then. Lots of attempted come backs at loads of clubs all flopped.

A wasted talent in terms of a career cut short by booze.

How would he do today ? Not very well arguably as his fitness was always an issue.

I'm staying in a 5-star hotel, I just been down the casino and won, the bed is covered in money and Miss World is in the bathroom, the waiter brings in a bottle of champagne with 2 glassed and goes "George, where did it all go wrong?"
