Without any shadow of a doubt the most gifted footballing talent to come out of the British Isles and one of the games greatest players.

My abidding memory of him will be a run down damn near the length of the pitch in which he never moved more than five yards left or right, evading and stepping through tackle after tackle, with the ball always where he wanted it, perfectly under control. The BBC later showed it in slow motion - it was like watching a ballet, or a salmon going up rapids.

Rest In Peace George, you were simply the Best.
