How good was George Best actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on George Best who played for Manchester United for most of his career, not only one of the greatest forwards of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how George Best ranks and just how good was he.

I'm afraid even given a second chance he couldn't be saved. By then he was only a shadow.
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.
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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Well they would’ve won in 1966 if Best didn’t get injured for the semis, and they were robbed in the 1969 semi after Law’s goal was incorrectly disallowed. It was more difficult to win league titles back then when playing in Europe as travel was more difficult and squads were smaller.

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.
Just like Ronaldinho played fantastic even when they were drunk and both would have become true goats if they just trained
Sacrificing his life for the club. Rest in peace
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

@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT Great to hear that! Although i am a fan of Klose, and i think his legacy shouldn't be reduced to his WC and Germany record(although he was by far the most prolific in the Germany shirt), he didn't always score 20goals a season but he scored consistently for 16years(Bundesliga debut was in 2000).He also is one of the top 25 best scoring and assisting players since 2000, also he was the most lethal player in Europe in 2014/15 converting 60% of his shots before Goats like Messi. I'd highlight his mentality, his journey to football and longevity(played in Top5 leagues for all of his career after 2000 and never went for the big money), his work for the team(he led Luca Toni take the spotlight in his debut season and still scored 20+goals) and ofc his incredible skills(positioning, heading, jumping, finishing, instinct)that were key to his game.Please include how Van Gaal demolished his career but how Klose came back in Italy.His atheltic abilities, skills on the ball and passing were competent, he just was a poacher but at the same time more than that.Use transfermarkt for his stats.Thanks for considering him, i love your videos
