Read this on the Observer website a few days ago...Genius. Quote ...Holland - midway between successive World Cup final appearances - and Johan Cruyff were at their peak at the time. George wasn't. I asked him what he thought of the acknowledged world number one and he said he thought the Dutchman was outstanding. 'Better than you?' I asked. George looked at me and laughed. 'You're kidding aren't you? I tell you what I'll do tonight... I'll nutmeg Cruyff first chance I get.' And we both laughed at the thought. A couple of hours later the Irish players were announced one by one on to the pitch. Pat Jennings, as goalkeeper, was first out of the tunnel to appreciative applause. Best, as No 11, was last. 'And now,' revved up the PA guy, 'Number 11, Georgie [long pause] Best.' And out trotted George. Above him, a beautiful blonde reached over with a single, long-stemmed red rose. Given his nature, his training and his peripheral vision there was no way he was going to miss her or the rose, so he stopped, trotted back, reached up to take the flower, kissed her hand and ran out on to the pitch waving his rose at the punters as the applause grew even louder. Five minutes into the game he received the ball wide on the left. Instead of heading towards goal he turned directly infield, weaved his way past at least three Dutchmen and found his way to Cruyff who was wide right. He took the ball to his opponent, dipped a shoulder twice and slipped it between Cruyff's feet. As he ran round to collect it and run on he raised his right fist into the air. Only a few of us in the press box knew what this bravado act really meant. Johan Cruyff the best in the world? Are you kidding? Only an idiot would have thought that on this evening. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/sport/story/0,6903,1646612,00.html Title: best Post by: Danjackson10 on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 13:32:41 he is a football legend fact! He is also a very selfish man who wrecked not just his life but those of his family and he disrespected the person who donated him their liver! He had a chance to turn his life around and he did'nt! Sorry to sound hard but I have no respect for the man! However condolences to his family and friends who unfortunately were linked to such a self destructing human being!

Title: best Post by: Danjackson10 on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 13:48:18 So why should someone with a self-inflicted disease get the liver of a doner rather then that of someone with liver disease!? I just feel that if you are given a chance like that you should take it! In my view Mr Best did not even try! He seemed like a man who thought life owed him one because he is a football legend! It may be unfair of me to judge but it's my opinion that he wasted the opportunity he was given! Yes alcoholism is a disease but not one you are born with and one you can definitely prevent!

Georgie Best was probably the greatest British based player we have ever witnessed. I know he's made mistakes in life, haven;t we all. He wasn't the one who demanded a liver transplant and if anything that one live he received has done more for donors than anything. The guy is now on his death bed and deserves all the best wishes he can receive. My thoughts are with him and his family. We are all the same precious, vunerable creatures when we are as close to death as George is now.

Like someone said He was a footballing legend and made england proud, your making out like he is a bad man. At the end of the day he's a normal person with a family and it shows what constantly being in the lime light can lead to. I feel for all his family and friends.

Title: best Post by: Crozzer on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 17:03:52 I never saw Stanley Matthews play, but I saw George Best play. Both had genius. I hope a sample of his goals are shown on national television. George could do everything, he could win the ball, head it, pass it, skin defenders, shoot with power, lob, cross, and make it look easy. Matt Busby's strategy was simple give the ball to Best. Possibly, it was all too easy for him. He played in an era when the game was tougher and more physical, how would he be stopped today. If he were twenty today, Chelsea would not be able to afford him.
His life ended in tragedy, but don't take anything away from the most naturally talented player ever to play in the British Iles. I am proud to say I have witnessed George Best play football, a player who admired another great winger, Don Rogers.

23,883 turned up to watch that match. I'm sure lots of them did to get tickets for the 4th round home tie against Everton (24,437), but I would think a lot did just to get to see Best play, that was the pulling power of the player. Did anyone on here see that match, or know much about it. Reg, I guess you would have seen it/remember it? Title: best Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 17:20:15 it can't be nice for his family to have to put up with all the media attention, they might as well stick him on a trolley in the centre of london such is the way his untimely death is being played out in the public eye.
let the man die with dignity and respect, self-inflicted or not that's the least he deserves.
