BEST (and worst) OF THE BEST

On 27th November 2006, to recognise the first anniversary of the death of George Best which was on the 25th, the Ulster Bank printed 1 million £5 notes which were legal tender and of course increased in value rapidly presumable never spent!
This is "his" official website:

Born on the 22nd May 1946, he was regarded as one of the all time greats, sadly destroyed by his own fame and a lack of care by the various clubs he played for, after leaving Matt Busby and Manchester United.
He was discovered by Bob Bishop, a United scout, who saw Best after he was discarded by Glentoran FC at 15, for being too small and light. Bob said he "had found a genius", which Best soon proved to the world.
Joe Armstrong, the Chief Scout at United, signed Best on and after some homesickness, which after 2 days caused Best to go home, he settled down to play as an "amateur" (he wasn't allowed to sign on professional terms that young) and he earned money as a runner on the Manchester Ship Canal. he lived in digs and started playing.
Once he got going, he played 470 times and scored 170 goals in club football. He was the United's top scorer for 5 consecutive seasons, scoring 32 goals in 53 games in the 1968 season, when he won the Ballon d'Or and was the FWA Footballer of the Year. Between 1964-77 he won 37 caps for Northern Ireland and scored 9 goals.
Best quit full time football in 1974 at 27 years old and messed around for ten years.
Clubs included:Man U, Jewish Guild (S. Africa), Dunstable Town, Stockport County, Cork Celtic, LA Aztecs, Fulham, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Hibernian, San Jose Earthquakes, Sea Bee (HK), Hong Kong Rangers, Bournemouth, Brisbane Lions, Osborne Park Galeb, Nuneaton Borough, Tobermore Utd (Ireland).....
It's not fair to go through all the negatives in Best's life, let's leave that to one side.
He died 25th November 2005 aged 59.

To mark his 60th birthday anniversary Belfast City Airport was renamed George Best Belfast City Airport nand he is in various Halls Of Fame..
