Mark your calendars, November 25, 2005, we've lost the best footballer ever to play. For those of you not familiar with the greats, here are a few facts:
Date of Birth 22nd May 1946
Place of Birth Belfast
Position Winger/Forward
Best was the best thing to ever come out of Belfast, (with the exception of my dad), he scored 178 goals in 488 games played for Manchester United. He won European Footballer of the Year in 1968 yet retired terribly early in 1983. Georgie was the most popular celebrity in the 60's and was dubbed "The 5th Beatle." He went on to play many charity and friendly matches though out the early 90's until health problems plagued him. Clearly he was not of this world when he was taken today, George Best, the Best, ever.
