The greatest ever

Thanks so much for this. You have demonstrated that my memories are not wrong. George was the most gifted player that ever lived.

Playing football on snow or ice or on a ploughed field, George Best made scoring great goals look easy. That is the measure of a genius who possessed such remarkable skills that other players around him could only envy and admire.

My first ever game i went to was in 1967 at the Hawthorns, my elder sister took me, she was Beatles and George Best mad, and when you see him not yards away from you it makes you realise just how good he was, he put bums on seats and rightly so.

it was like the ball was GLUED to his feet , absolutely incredible

I grew up watching the United team of the 60s and, imho, George Best is THE best player I have ever seen. Genius is an overused word but he had it in spades.

The state of those pitches. Those heavy tackles. You wouldn't think fine control was possible. And yet...

One of the best players England never had !, saw him live he was hust a genuius

He could do anything.

I once worked with a man from Belfast who lived two doors down from George in Burren Way Cregagh. I asked him how good George was when he sas young. He told me that all the local lads from 10-15 used to play, and that when Bestie was 10 or 11 he could keep the ball off them for a solid 5 minutes. They then got frustrated and kicked lumps out of him. His talent was God given.

Just looked so fantastic on the ball, great header, great dribbler, great ball control, great finisher, left and right feet, great flair and imagination. Simply the best.

Probably the finest natural footballer that has ever lived. Played with a football that was a dead weight when wet and not a beach ball like today.

Yes and don't forget those bobbly, muddy pitches he had to play on - not like the bowling greens they have nowadays.

SIR I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

Growing up in the 70s as liverpool fan, I watched his TV show for skills training, and just wanted to be GB. We all know what happened.

Great Goals From The Best!

You also have to take into account the fact that you could not do the things footballers can do today with the balls back in those days. They were much heavier, especially in the rain where they tend to soak in the moisture.

Hallelujah!! Without getting to excited,but I keep on raising this point..Since maybe 1995 the ball has been getting lighter and I won't even mention the Physicality difference!(probably due to the material being used to produce it)and this is why we see the ball flying in from crazy angles, and Gk being able to "Punt"the ball nearly clear out of the Stadium. But many of the lets call them "Contemporary fans"seem to think it's because the quality of today's players are far better than the likes of Pele,Georgie Best,,Law,Charlton,Johan Cruyff,Maradona,Socrates,Zico,Ruud Gullit,Van Bastin,Roberto Baggio and so on..And my answer is a emphatic"No F##king way"..The ball is just to light,making a joke of the game.

Good in the air too, which many people forget - quite a few good goals with his head shown here.

What a brilliant compilation. Lovely stuff

If he played in these times. Could you imagine how much he would cost .

Um verdadeiro fenômeno. Apenas não teve a divulgação que merecia. Superior a vários "fenômenos " posteriores.

Great player . . . before the pressures of stardom and alcoholism blunted his edge. I saw him play for Fulham a few times in the late 1970s in the old Second Division - he was still a class above the rest. Shame you didn't include two other goals from George Best's career - the one which didn't count for Northern Ireland versus England in 1970 in the old Home Championship when he cheekily kicked the ball from Gordon Banks' hands and headed in the ball (probably a perfectly good goal) - and the goal against Sheffield United (?) from I think 1971/72 when he beat three men to the right of the penalty area and the ball went in off the left-hand post and into the right-hand corner of the goal. One of his 'best' !

Thank you for upload

He wasn't called Best for nothing.⚽👍😎

Best by name best football player in United 60s team. Now with the babes in heaven teaching the angels how to play.Thanks Georgia for the memories. Dave.

He never went down like todays poncey players !!

3:12, a boy entered the field and hugged Best. Football was a beautiful, human game, not a unhuman capitalist show business.

Thank you very much

The Best...... and as mentioned countless times, add to it all, the ball that they used to play with... and the pitches and conditions...and this guy not only was an utterly brilliant goal scorer but on the ball skills and reflexes like no other... has was the Best

George? The Best

Lucky ones who saw this man in action!

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

George would've graced any era of football. When you look at the muddy pitches and defenders trying to take him out, imagine him on a modern pristine pitch with protection from a modern ref. George would've been on £500k a week or it's equivalent in bottles of champagne. He was a one off.

Man, myth, legend.

Look at the state of the pitches. What would he have been like on today's pitches? He was awesome.

This is Manchester United ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That first goal v Chelsea is the greatest goal I’ve ever seen

I'm a huge fan from when I saw him at Fulham live and before on telly. What a superstar. Best player I've ever seen, no one could control a ball like him or trap it like him from a goal kick. He really was the real deal and was huge like the fab 4.

Great player , yes , but underrated ? No way . George was very highly rated during his career . Many considered him to be a genius footballer , in the same mould as Pele , Cruyff , Maradona et al .

George Best, Jimmy Greaves, Colin Bell, Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law, Bobby Moore, Pele, Eusebio, Gerd Muller, Beckenbauer, Netzer, Liam Brady, Malcolm Macdonald, Pat Jennings, Puskas, Di stefano to name a few are all players that could have and would have been amazing players in today's game.

The GOAT 👌

Excelente BEST The BEST

Didn't realise how good he was in the air

8:00. My favourite 😊

He was that good he would have got in the 1970 Brazil world cup team.

That man ,was briiant

So many great goals but I think the first was my favourite.

Mi illumini di immenso. Immortale, genio e leggenda del calcio. Il più grande di ogni tempo. Rimarrai per sempre nel mio ❤. Riposa in pace caro George.

T H E BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST

I was 12...On the right wing...I was compared to George Best...European Cup Winner with South Shields Football Club and on Middlesbrough School of Excellence under 12's so there you go...RIP Bestie...

Sheffield United (H) Oct 1971 ... ?? David Coleman: "and the players are losing the ball in the sun..."

And don't forget the one that got away for his national team against Gordon Banks and England. Imagine the quality of the 80 or so other goals he scored for United they didn't have TV cameras at in those days.

He dribbled on farm field with a ball with weight of a rock. Let that sink in.

быстрая реакция у Беста, такая же как в хоккее у выдающегося Йозефа Голонки

nobody mention the sheer speed he could run from a standing start electric pace

super....

Players like best, cruyff and beckenbauer played awful pitches and still had control and finesse. Unbelievable.

My dad said to me once Gorge best was better than David Beckham, Best took the ball and took it and put it in the goal net.

I miss crappy old grounds like the dell

Where did you get the videos for this?

All done with a hangover

I love how he mostly just gets on with his job after scoring a goal, like it's nothing special. There's no stupid Fortnite dances or performing for the camera. Just takes a breather and heads back to his half 😄 Although there's a couple of clips where he jumps and fists the air out of pure adulation and raw emotion, but no staged or trademark celebration like CR7, the Shearer raised hand or Robbie Keanes roll and guns. I wonder when celebrations became such a staple in the game.

They try to tell us that modern football is better, faster and fitter😆

criminal that Best never hasd the chance to play on th International stage.

imagine his other 50 goals that were better that probably never got filmed.

Another one of the football superstars who has played club football in Australia - and a player whom many consider to be the best, and not just in name. George Best. Read about George and others in 'Be My Guest' by Jason Goldsmith and Lucas Gillard. Out now! kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZeL16OFgd2cZqQ.html

just before my time, i often ask myself what was footballs golden generation ?

How much now

Pour me another . Leeds Leeds Leeds

Why did they all play in their pijamas?

I agree!

Best, "ja ga volim zato sto je lijep"
