Without a shadow of a doubt, probably the greatest footballing talent ever to come out of the British Isles (Geographic feature). Unfortunately I think he was in the right place at the wrong time, surrounded by the wrong people.

The 1960's and the emergence of the "permissive society", salaries and transfers fees for footballers had just started to really take off. Had George Best come on the scene about 10 - 15 years later, I believe that the story would have been different.

Taking being in the right place, by that I meant the English First Division, not the club he played for. In the 60's, had he played for Don Revie's Leeds, or Shank's Liverpool, I also believe the story would have been different, either of those managers would have looked after his best interests.
