It's frightening to think what he'd be like now, with modern training methods etc.
Apart from the fact you can't kick any fucker now.

Nobody forced him to play football so why should we praise him?
Some of the quotes from likes of him
And Cloughie are fantastic. Characters are none existent in today's game.
Because he was talented perhaps?

Nobody forced him to do it though.
Before my time but me dad reckons he's one of the greats.
If he lived by today's fitness standards he would have had a long career at the top.
He wouldn't be able to have the same lifestyle outside of Football nowadays like.
I didn't say they did.
Before mine as well really but still plenty footage of him and literature. Was part of best soccer Saturday panel as well with him, Rodney marsh and frank McClintock. His autobiography is fantastic.
Imagine a night out with a prime George Best
A top footballer, loved bucking and drinking and that's the best you can do!
I bet you're a right laugh on a night out!

Best footballer I ever saw live.

I think he would. He performed magnificently despite the drink. I think managers today might even turn a blind eye for such talent. I only saw him in the 70s but fortunately loads of archived stuff out there. A true GENIUS. The best British player ever?
Aye, he was kicked black and blue - well, when they could catch him!

Good footballer or not he was still a dickhead.

Sometimes with genius the downside is some character flaws.
As I only know too well myself.
Van Gogh, Newton, Beethoven, etc

Being a rampant alcoholic isn't a "character flaw".
Great footballer no doubt, but have to admit having died 3 months after me fit and healthy 36 year old sister and a month after me two month old baby niece who fought so hard, I struggled to have any sympathy with him at the time, in fact it made me pretty angry. I've mellowed a bit since but I can't have any great sympathy for him
