He saved Man Utd, but later on, he needed someone to save him. Rest in peace legend!

If Best had not drank and practiced hard he would be beyond comparison. He accomplished everything as a soccer player half drunk on the field, that's how talented he was.

I am a lifelong United fan who grew up watching the 1960s team. George Best was one of the best players of all time. He would be a world class player in any era.

In another documentary about George Best I saw (might have been one of those "Football's Greatest" ones), he did at one point suggest that immediately after winning the European Cup he was personally hungry for more success and trophies, but he looked around and felt like for everyone else, that victory was the end of the journey, the end of their ambitions. He then stuck around still because of a fondness and loyalty to Matt Busby and the club. Seeing the club's winning qualities decline, his own professional ambitions declined also. I also heard somewhere the suggestion that his "playboy lifestyle" was actually more lucrative for a while than his professional football career. Being a face got him appearance fees, advertisements and god knows what else. Even if that isn't exactly true, it is easy to see how a young man's head might get turned considering football alone wouldn't have been making him rich anyway.

Out of all these top players , George was by far the best tackler . He was always robbing players of the ball and could dribble with both feet which I haven’t seen a lot . He didn’t have tricks he had balance and a complete mastery of the ball . At George of the Best , patron Saint of the greedy

A shame he never got to play in a World Cup. One of the best of all time, top 10 for me!

Man I'm addicted to your content. Really wholesome stuff. My suggestion is that you do 1. Pipo Inzaghi 2.Patrick Kluivert 3.Pep Guardiola 4. Robie Fowler

Can you make a “just how good was Franz Beckenbauer” video plz

George best is one of the best players of all time he could play in the centre and on both the flanks an all rounder good passing great speed close control dribbling and amazing agility and above all an amazing football mind

Can you do just how good was Denis law

Truly the most gifted player to ever exist. Had potential levels beyond messi and ronaldo. He just couldn’t reach that potential to it’s full extent and he will be remembered in all of football for years to come. RIP

I remember George Best as a young child, there was nobody like him.

Teardripping documentary, this. How fame and glory can change even the greatest talent of them all. Maybe things would have been different, if he had another citizenship (Northern Ireland, of course, never reached far) - but then again; a humble and shy teenager couldn't resist all the temptations of life. One of the top ten greatest players of all time. And a gentleman, as well. Rest in peace, George Best!

I was lucky enough to see George play [for real] during the late 1960's and early 1970's. He was by far the best player I have ever seen. Simply mesmerizing. Even in a star-studded team that featured the brilliance of Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton and Paddy Crerand, George was on another level. He could do things with the ball that no other player at that time could do. I became a life-long Manchester Utd fan [even though I'm from the Midlands], grew my hair long and modeled myself on George as a young boy at school. I would wear the iconic blood red long-sleeve Utd shirt [gripping the cuffs, Best-style] whenever I played. I became a pacey left-sided winger and once scored 5 goals in a school match. People use the word 'genius' lightly these days - but nobody in football deserves that title more than George Best. He single-handedly revolutionized the game and inspired countless young boys just like me. Thank you George.

Such a fantastic player. Love watching his videos on KZfaq.

That was a completely different game back then. It was a combination of football and rugby. Technology and medicine were krapp back then so no growth hormones and especially absolutely no referee protection and no major big oil empires buying football clubs.

Hey man, I love your videos. Keep going. You’ll get there 💪🏿🙌🏿

Simply the best player .

Absolute Genius, Like the others, Maradona, Socrates and even Pele. great at Fooltball but still Searching. Makes me cry a little.

I think you underrated him in the trophy stat, you got to remember he was one of the youngest ballon d’or winners ever being the most important player in Man Us first ever european cup win.

I love your videos bro❤️ Keep grinding

I knew the story but you’re a great story teller and I thought I was hearing it for the first time

what a video well done

I love your work, here's a list of some names maybe you could do videos about if you have time I know it takes many hours to make videos, these are just suggestions to help you Edgar Davids, Patrick, Kluivert, David Trezguet, Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, David Villa, Davor Suker, Rudd Gullit, Raul, George Weah, Lothar Matthaus & Oliver Kahn

As a northern Irish man I am very proud

Absolutely mercurial talent

Footballs first superstar, that transcended the gsme of football, aka the 5th beatle.

Beautiful video.

nice videos tbh and definetly not easy to make... i would recommand doing a video about 2 of the best romania ever had. Gheorghe Hagi and Nicolae Dobrin who Real Madrid almost signed him. Thanks

Once called the white pele.best replied Pele was the black George best. LEGEND

He never reached his pinnacle

Can you please do one on Sócrates? It could be an interesting video. He was cool as fuck

Very interesting video! I didn't know very much about Best, only that he is one of the best players to have ever played the game. Could you make a video about Matthias Sammer - last German player to be Europe's F.O.T.Y. and by lot of people considered to be a better Libero than Beckenbauer?

10/10 good video

How about one on Paddy McCourt, reminds me so much of George.

fantastic

Love the videos keep up the good work

my biggest inspiration, always tryna be as smooth as him on the pitch, hope i play for my club one day

Can you please do just how good was zinidine zidane

I hope you do on how good was Paul Scholes, Bobby Moore, Steven Gerrard and Ryan Giggs

GLORY GLOOORRYY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, AS THE REDS GO MARCHING ON ON ON 🐐❤️🏆🔥😍#GGMU4L

Sadly the drink got to George...if he'd stayed on the straight and narrow my own personal opinion is he was and could've been known as the greatest player that ever lived. He was mesmerising to watch, his presence on the pitch was beyond compare. He could play any position and was gifted with right and left foot excellence. I met someone who knew him and said he was fantastic and very, very shy. He truly was a genius and I miss him to this day, he was my childhood hero...RIP George.

The Manchester United 1960s side, massively underachieved. Boasting three ballon d'Or winners ( Charlton, Law, Best ) . Two world cup winners ( Charlton & Stiles ). A top Scottish international in Crerand. They should have won numerous domestic league titles, FA Cups & at least have made it to at least, three to four European Cup Finals between 1963 to 1969. Two league titles wins. One FA Cup win & one European Cup win is a average return, for a side boasting so much talent... Put *_that_* into perspective with Di Stéfano Real Madrid, five European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. Cruyff Ajax, three European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. Beckenbauer Bayern Munich, three European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. C. Ronaldo four Real Madrid, Champions League Cup wins & one European Cup win with Man Utd & numerous domestic league title wins. Messi Barcelona, four Champions League Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins & it's obvious how Man Utd & Best, way underachieved, compared to those other illustrious luminaries. Best was an extraordinary player, with unbelievable ball coordinations & balance, which enabled him to pivot on a six pence away from defenders in tight tricky situations. Being brilliantly ambidextrous, allowed him to switch directions at a seconds notice. However, he wasn't able to carry Man Utd to the sort of European dominantion like the players i mentioned.

The most skillful footballer I have ever seen. Not the best because football is a team game and he wasn't a team player. But he played with poise and touch in a time where pitches were awful and defenders could kick you with impunity. He had a good time I hope.

Charlton was held back aerodynamically by his combover. I was born and raised in belfast beside Windsor park Lindfield fc my ancle played for the in 60s

Mad skill

Thanks for everything Best you lived up to your name,now it my turn.

I find most videos about football on KZfaq are by people who don’t understand football, display epic ignorance and oblivious to the history of football I must say though I’ve been hugely impressed by your channel. You get it, you understand, and your videos are great. Keep it up 👍🏻

George Best You are a Fantastic Football player You are the Best George Best Good bye the Belfast boy World legend Maradona Cruyff Pele George Best is the Best

I can tell you for sure, the commentator is not exaggerating. George Best was a phenomenon. People came to the stadium to see him, and only HIM play. Do yourself a favor and search for his name on KZfaq.

Please do a video on Davor Šuker

Next video Recommendation-Video on tony Adams aka MR ARSENAL Plzzzz

A Heads Up: Your "Roberto Baggio" Video isn't working. It's reporting as "This Video is Not Available". On Another Note: KUDOS TO YOU FOR YOUR COMPREHENSIVE(MULTIPLE GENERATIONS) GOAT COVERAGE‼️ Very Pleasing to Watch These Videos! Keep Up The Great Work 👍🏿. Request for Players: Zinedine Zidane Lothar Mathius Ronaldo Nazario Eric Cantona Gabriel Batistuta Jurgen Klinsmann Franz Beckenbauer Gianfranco Zola Enzo Francescoli ... I'll Be Back 🤣

make one of Michael laudrup Please :-)

I never expected him to play in my home country australia for 4 matches

The most gifted football player ever.

George Best was the Jim Morrison of soccer.

Garrincha next please

Can you make a video for Paul Scholes pls.

I hope you do on how good was Steven gerrad

If I could change my voice I would change it to Alfie’s from HITC sevens But if I could change my accent it would be this man’s

Love the videos but, you should drop the ranking system asap. It always leaves me bitter at the end and it isn’t well flushed out at all. Otherwise it’s great and gives an insight to the careers of legends we may not have had the chance to witness fist hand.

If Best, Maradona and Ronald played in todays football, with no injuries or giving into their vices, they would blow Messi and Cristiano out of the water

❤❤ yes he too look like 5th Beatles

He was Simply the Best

Listen boy & listen good. King Kenny.

I’d really like your view of Andrés Iniesta

Baller No.1

Thanks for the video, petty about his bad habits, he could have been greater

Me from northern Ireland

can you do one on hristo stoichkov?

Pls do garrincha

Do a video on Jancker from Bayern Munich

The best player that ever existed, no question

Sacrificing his life for the club. Rest in peace

the greatest footballer have always enjoy life off the pitch thus their longevity is lessened. Maradona, Best, Ronaldinho, Adriano etc etc

the 5th Beatle, the 1st Celebrity footballer off the pitch.

can you do valderama?

Can you make one of Carles Puyol

👑👑👑👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆💥💥🔥🔥🔥

"and 6 other players" complete lack of disrespect for the dead!!

Jimmy Johnstone of celtic next pal .

Fair scores but icon factor is easily a 10, it doesn't matter how many young people don't care or don't know...the second they find out the sheer historic significance of Best, then anything other than the highest score seems unreasonable

2:20 George Best was NOT the captain of the 1964 FA Youth Cup team. Bobby Noble was the captain whose career was ended in a car crash.

I had the privilege of watching the greatest player EVER

Just like Ronaldinho played fantastic even when they were drunk and both would have become true goats if they just trained

Imagine if the pitches were as good then as they are now

he is the best

Do a video on lothar matthaus

Make a vid one essuin or makelea or Hagi or nakata or raul pls

I thiibk the score system is flawed because considering his short career he achieved so much. Maradona lasted longer which is why his stats are higher. Best had personality too, not just skill. I take ot from Pele...that is the only opinion that matters, forget the stats.

I think they dubbed him "El Beatle" did they not? 😅

Icon factor 9?? He was the first ever football superstar, and in the top 5 players of all time

The GOAT before MESSI 💪👍💪

This man has no trekkers

What people don’t realise is he was gifted with both feet. Dribbling and scoring. Not even Messi could do that. Had he been disciplined he would have been the greatest of all time

Klose next

Man was a genius on the ball but drank till he slept sadly

This story about Best is very sad very sad.

Makes me sick thinking about how good he would've been without his addiction to alcohol. What a player. Poor mentality. So sad.
