Manchester United's scout in 1961 in Northern Ireland , Bob Bishop ,
telegram clubs ' legendary manager Matt Busby in a state of unusual
excitement . " I think I 've found you a genius , " he tried to
menjelaskan.Dia had indeed . But
the good Bishop , Busby not anyone can imagine the impact of skin and
bones , the discovery of fifteen -year -old will make Manchester United ,
football around the world and society as a whole . At the
recommendation of Bishop 's " genius " , George Best , who packed into
Manchester along with another prospect , Eric McMordie , for a two- week trial . Distracted
by their journey into the unknown and immediately missed the kids
scarpered back to Belfast before the first week is over . Busby 've seen
enough to know that one of the children is worth pursuing and the
United boss wrote a letter to George Best 's father urged him to
send their children back to Manchester , convinced that George has what
it takes to enjoy a bright future in the game . This is an early
indication of a very strong ability outstanding best . Manchester United Football Club will not normally go running after a fifteen-year -old boy who bunked out on them . George
Best did come back and , you could easily say , the rest is history .
Young Irishman was naturally shy and somewhat uncomfortable , such as
bolts previously have pointed to the house , but it did not take long to
settle in Manchester happier on his arrival . Soon he has the ball at his feet George Best was a different person . Not only confident, he is arrogant . Supremely
confident in his own abilities he demands center stage and enjoy the
have it . Attitude was not caused resentment among his colleagues as
they instantly recognize and reward outstanding natural deferred to them
. In addition , off the field he was quiet and popular with everyone . Once
it is received and dihormati.Seperti quickly filtered through to the
first teamers at Old Trafford on exceptional children in the youth team
they would sneak in to watch him train and left shaking their heads at
his ability . Matt Busby anxious not surprised his blood for too fast but it is not possible to keep him from a long side . Having
just turned seventeen George Best made his first team debut at the
beginning of the 1963-64 season and played a blinder against West
Bromwich Albion . Probably worried about the introduction of fuss has
been made problems , Busby then leave him out of the team before
considering him for supplies christmas at home to Burnley . Burnley are a top side at the time and had been hammered United at Turf Moor just two days earlier on Boxing Day . Best
scored his first goal with the American defeat and the boy was returned
here to stay . Remaining season saw George Best confirmed the
extraordinary talents and by the end of the American runner -up in the
league . The
best effect was amazing. Massa everywhere admire skinny winger 's hard
men whose tales could not knock off the ball , tackle or even foul on
most occasions . A
child who can perform at the international center of the middle and
divide by two to head international goalkeeper outjump last goal and
that could rip a shot into the back of the net in nearly defeated eyes
blur . Appeal is not limited to the football field . Best
is to find a young man who is very good as well and all the girls at
the same time across the country began to take an interest in football ,
at least as far as having an image of Georgie Best plastered their
bedroom walls . Within a few years this interest will turn into
something approaching hysteria
and George best , soccer players and people that will start to crack
under the pressure . 's first full season best in United's first team is
one thrilling as the club captured the first division championship and
reached the FA Cup semi -final second and Exhibition , losing to Leeds
United Ferencvaros
and Hungary , both after a replay . nineteen He has not changed , but
Best was probably the most talked about and well known figures in
English football but it was the following season that his popularity
really exploded and became its international cozy nights in Lisbon ,
George Best turned in
one of the greatest performances ever as the United massacred Benfica
5-1 at their own ground , the first time they suffered a defeat at home
in European competition . Best
provided two early goals set America on their way , jumped in front of
the keeper to head first before slicing through the defense to slide
home the second . Arrested walk through the streets of Lisbon the next
day in a large sombrero Best caption newspaper dubbed " El Beatle " and legend
moved to cepat.Amerika missed out on the further glory years , losing
in the semi-finals of both the FA and European Cup after Best was
injured in the first leg of their European tie with Partizan Belgrade
and spent the rest of the season . Americans once again next season won
the league championship clubs
earned another crack at the European Cup , the coveted trophy Matt
Busby above all others . George best is undoubtedly the best during this
season and even though other United pipped to the title by neighbors
City , George topped the scoring charts with 28 first division ,
with Southampton Ron Davies , remarkable tally for a winger. Glory
Europe does not come by way of America , however , with appropriate
dramatic way . Paired
with Spanish giants Real Madrid in the semi -finals it was the best
goal gave United a crucial 1-0 lead to take to Spain for the second leg
and ultimately proved decisive after a 3-3 draw in typically extravagant
Bernebeu . In the final , again against Benfica , Best scored perhaps the most famous , skipped round the last defender and rounding the goalkeeper before tapping into an empty net . This
goal put United 2-1 ahead early in extra time and Busby dream come true
when his team marched to the famous 4-1 victory . This is 1968 and
George Best , approaching his 22nd birthday , was named the best player
of the year players and European Year . World
football well and truly in the best foot and yet it would prove to be
the pinacle of his career . Americans have never finished higher than 8
for the rest of the Best at Old Trafford and although they reached the
semi-finals of the European Cup again in 1969 and the FA Cup semi-final a year later the club ' glory days came to a bitter end . Matt
Busby had allowed his squad to the elderly and leave at the time of his
fabled youth system producing non entity . Wilf McGuinness and Frank
O'Farrell both found Busby shoes are too big to enter the United States
and continues to get worse before Tommy Docherty arrived at Old Trafford
determined to stamp personality and the authority of its own at the club . During the George Best has deteriorated as well . It
was barely visible in his performance on the field , especially because
of his genius now largely surrounded by mediocroty , and he remains
United's top scorer for six consecutive seasons between 1967 and 1972 .
Their social life has begun to spiral out of control , however , and on
arrival Best
Docherty at Old Trafford has been drinking heavily, sometimes it will
skip the training and , in essence , the target sits as the new manager
seems to hold the ax , all the time he should be untouchable. Therefore
one of the greatest players to ever grace left Old Trafford in
shambolic circumstances at age 27 . Docherty has taken a lot of
criticism over the years for its treatment of George Best , especially
from the fans , but it seems to be one of the most thoughtful thing ever
he
did . Though United were relegated at the end of the best season to
make his final appearance for the club , a 0-3 defeat at QPR on new
Year's Day , 1974, Docherty quickly gather a hungry young team returned
directly to the first division and come back stronger . , Best in the
other hand , fell into a series of satisfying , and particularly
short-lived , wasting time on a set of clubs may now be a confirmed
alcoholic . it is often suggested that George Best became disillusioned
with life at Old Trafford as the great player he grew up with left and
was replaced by the people
are not fit to lace , or his boots . there is no doubt that this is the
case but Best did not stop playing football on leaving Manchester
United and the players in United's definitely better than in places that
would eventually . course action only easier
one , is always preferred by people with a drink problem . therefore
when Best was supposed to play for Manchester United he represented the
likes of Dunstable Town , Stockport County , Cork Celtic , Los Angeles
Aztecs , Fulham , Fort Lauderdale Strikers , Detroit Express
, Hibernians , San Jose Earthquakes , Bournemouth , Brisbane Lions and
Tobermore United . this is a legitimate CV someone like Sammy Morgan ,
not the person who many people consider to be the greatest player who
ever lived . Best is an unqualified success during his time in America
but this not a claim to fame . In
a league populated by a handful of aging superstars and journeymen best
number is at the age when he should be at its peak . Early eighties
into a circus rumored comebacks , looks horrible testimonials and
stories about the best drink . George Best played his last game for
Bournemouth Football League May
1983 in a 2-2 draw with Wigan Athletic and competitive final appearance
was recorded for Tobermore United in the Irish Cup the following
February . Usually small ground was packed to the best performance , but
his team lost 7-0 to Ballymena . Given the damage is due to personal
career himself
and God - given talent was easy to judge George Best rugged and yet has
to be remembered that during his time at the top he managed to
influence generations of football supporters may be more profound than
any other player in the history of the game . 's not just those who
follow Manchester United for George best time in there that names him as the best player period . Throughout
the UK , Europe and worldwide performances captivate millions and his
legend alive today as the next generation to look back and see him
flicking the ball past Gordon Banks ' head for the greatest disallowed
goal ever scored , up Ron Harris ' crude attack on muddy Old Trafford
pitch before rounding Peter Bonetti relaxed very easily , firing Pat
Jennings from the six-yard box with international colleagues standing in
a row and left Bobby Moore in his back before scoring a goal against
West Ham . you can not make a deep and lasting impression like unless
you both
serious and there is no question that George Best in there with the
ball ' all time greats . He was born with all the attributes players can
look forward to . Neat ball control and dribbling ability was probably unparalleled . Best
can also pass , shoot , head and overcome incredible natural and two
legs . Above and beyond the Best endowed natural talent that can not be
taught or trained . He's
as fast as lightning , especially off the mark , has unlimited stamina
and has incredible flexibility that allows him to ride the handle and
avoid injury despite punishment , unimaginable today , that the
defenders were allowed to inflict on him week in and week out . It is
also must
be remembered that although George best Manchester cut his United
career in Prime he made more than 460 appearances for the club in all
competitions , healthy career for most people . Where is the best stand
in the list of all time greats , as always , a matter of opinion . was
not easy for best
to make a mark in international football came from Northern Ireland and
he never had a chance to perform in the big final . appearance in
Europe for Manchester United is always scintilating , however , and
there is no doubt that he is one of the biggest attractions in football England
during the 1960s and early 70s . Interestingly though , although his
contemporaries talk now about him that might be the biggest ever ,
comments concerning Best tend to mention when he's playing probably room
for improvement in teamwork , something Best chose not to deal with completely
. Indeed, it can be assumed that only the Best is pleased to have his
talents more toward team then he will end his career with more than
three winners medals and may also have led to the recognition of
Northern Ireland internasional.Tentu only when the likes of Bobby
Charlton passing opinion as they are talking about a young man in his mid-twenties who they assumed had over ten years in him . Best
in the normal course of events would have to add this aspect to the
game and make a stronger claim to be the biggest player of them all .
Assessment One of my favorite George Best came from Jimmy Greaves who
said that he did not know whether he is the best but added that "
no one better . " seems a touch sentimental for Best put forward as the
greatest footballer ever , certainly the award was never able to go to
someone who plays for Stockport at the age of 29 , but it does not seem
too extravagant to claim that he may have been the most naturally talented human being who ever kicked a ball .
