Maradona good, Pele better, George Best.
Ten years since we lost the unique, charasmatic, complex and charming Belfast Boy. While some still want to berate him for his human frailties, most of us prefer to remember his genius. Play the game.

Great as George was, in footballing ability he comes behind Pele, Maradona and Cruyff.
But Best had the most fun.

Pele would disagree. I suppose though, those guys played in incredible international teams, which possibly made their lights shine brighter.

Re: Maradona good, Pele better, George Best.
Gaza?? He wasn't a bad player but he wasn't anywhere near the level of Best. He had some natural ability, players like Best, Cruyff, Pele, Maradona had it in abundance, God given. When asked to compare Best and Gaza, Sir Bobby Charlton smiled and said; "with no disrespect to Paul (Gascoigne) that's like comparing a Ferrari to a Skoda".

"If you'd given me the choice of going out and beating four men and smashing a goal in from thirty yards against Liverpool or going to bed with Miss World, it would have been a difficult choice. Luckily, I had both."
He didn't have to cheat or handle the ball to score a goal and he didn't need a tablet to get it up - obviously he was, simply THE Best
Saw him play once in Windsor Park, way past his prime, but he could still show the sparks of genius from his heyday. Like all great geniuses - he was flawed.
Don't know if it is an urban legend (really hope it isn't) but my favourite Georgie story comes from his time in the US. He was in Vegas, just of the tables with his latest blonde bombshell. Cashed in his chips after a big win and returned to the room. George rings down to room service for some champagne to celebrate and spreads the cash out on the bed. The girl sprawls on all the money and the door knocks. In walks a young Northern Irish lad, working his summer as a hotel bell-hop, with a tray, glasses and the champagne. Obviously he recognises the greatest player the world has ever seen, takes a look at the blonde beauty lying on a bed load of dollar bills and says...."Fuck Geordie, where did it all go wrong!!"

Allow me to re-arrange your face, sometimes I'd really like to get to know you better

"I used to go missing a lot. Miss Uk, Miss USA, Miss World". Sat beside him and his manager on a flight once, chatted with me the whole time, I bumped into him a week later when I was with a new girlfriend, he remembered my name and by fuck was my date mightily impressed.
