George Best passes away

[MDK]

He wasn't the best. One of, but not the best.

He wasn't the best. One of, but not the best.

It's subjective, but you could make a good argument for him being the best the ever was during his prime.

[MDK]

Fair enough, but people will always say that someone was the best ever if they have just died. I would definately say that he is the best player the British Isles have ever produced. Except John Mackie.

Don't get me wrong Bestie was a legend on the pitch but off it he was a complete wanker. He had two chances at life and he blew it. That liver could have gone to someone who would have looked after it better than he did. I don't feel any sorrow towards Best. I feel more sorrow for his family and friends for all the ordeals he has put them through.

His service was actually quite moving, my mate from Uni went home to East Belfast for it, apparently it's quite a big deal where he comes from.

First time I've seen Callum Best on TV and not thought "TWAT!"

It was a huge deal. 100,000 people lined the streets. I watched it, and it was pretty sad. Definitely Bestie was a footballing legend, one of the, if not the best of all-time. But like others have said, I don't agree with his off-pitch antics, and think his liver would have been better suited for someone else. That said, RIP anyway.
