George Best's Grave - Famous Grave George Best

Today's famous Grave visit, I pay tribute and visit the final resting place of legendary football player George Best.

''They'll forget all the rubbish when I've gone, and they'll remember the football. If only one person thinks I'm the best player in the world, that's good enough for me''. Thanks George, from all of us who were lucky enough to have watched you play !

[@markwojtowycz3760]

The likes of Bestie's genius will never be seen again. Todays so called greats play on near perfect pitches and are well pampered unlike when George played says it all really. RIP George the Best! Nice film Paul, thanks.

[@Boogledigs]

It was heartbreaking to see George go downhill when alcoholism overtook him. An absolutely incredible footballer, he was such a loss to the game. There will never again be a footballer with his ability. RIP, George.

I went here myself in 2013 during a visit to Belfast . I don’t know about you but I had a heck of a job finding his grave as the place is huge . I found it eventually and laid my flowers down , it was a surreal feeling being there, I loved him so much, a phenomenal talent ! Had he been at his prime nowadays he would have been priceless . RIP George xx🌹

[@peteiswriteingnow]

This the day after another footballing icon has passed away the great Sir Bobby Chalton, even though they were miles apart as men they played and had great respect for one another i was lucky enough to see them play a few times, both the best at their style of play. George was the reason i started to watch and support United, what he could of done with the light modern ball on the bowling green pitches now, but like most of the geniuses in sport im afraid they have their flaws but lets just remember him for the player he was.

[@user-ef3xh9yt7k]

He had some of the highest highs and some of the lowest lows. He lived life full-tilt. His body couldn't keep up with his mind. What a guy, god love him.

[@margaretbuckley9309]

I WILL BE WATCHING PAUL I HAVE NEVER SEEN GEORGES GRAVE 🙏🥀

[@MrTerryb1956]

My late mother was one of the tea ladies back in the late 60's 70's @ Stoke City Football Club. I remember mum taking me down to the old Victoria Ground in 1971 , I was 13 . I stood near the players tunnel and watched the Man Utd players run out onto the pitch , has George Best came past me he patted me on my head and said " you ok mate " .I was blown away he scored both goals that day. To me George Best was the greatest footballer I've ever seen RIP GB , Thanks Paul for yet another superb video

Was fortunate to see him play live many times..a genius….A friend of his sister, dear Barbara.

Watched him at West Ham, when the Man Utd squad was announced in order, the Hammers fans clapped, rather than booed, when George Best name was called, total respect for a legend, an emotional moment that you had to have been there to witness. 🙏

[@user-lu4nm4qu7e]

Remember him as a legend and not for his off field life ….truly best by name and best by nature 😢😢

[@marklockey4434]

Forget the rest…George was the greatest footballer that ever lived and he had such humility. My hero.

[@anitajowett1717]

I read his last biography and realised what drink and the glamorous lifestyle had done to him. Unfortunately alcoholism was his downfall. He desperately tried to stop drinking even despite a liver trsnsplant. He was handsome and such a talented football player. We lost a legend when he passed away. R.I.P George Best❤

[@leximojito1218]

Addiction is such a horror for anyone, but to have to live it and die trying to break free from it in the public gaze must be even more cruel if that's possible. Gorgeous George, rest in peace. Gave so much pleasure to all who love the "beautiful" game.

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

You got more people interested in football than anyone else in history. You helped Manchester United become the best known football club in the world and those that saw you play, no matter who we supported, knew we had seen a genius at work. God bless you George. We love you ❤

[@charlottespurway7490]

Rest in Peace George best and his family too!!! Lovely headstone and flowers too!!

[@normanlee31]

My father and his father were the same age and met in primary school together, going on to play snooker together in later life. His father was often calling for my Dad to go off out somewhere. I only met George once at the house in Cregagh just as he was leaving for Manchester United. RIP George, Dickie and my own Dad!

One of the greatest of all time....

[@johnboyjones2009]

I remember being taken to Highbury as a young boy to see George play. I didn't support either side but was told to witness the magic of George. He didn't disappoint: scoring by dancing around Webster to equalize in a 2-2 draw. Folks, if you get the chance to make memories for people then, please, do so because it is so worth it.

[@1970sthrowback]

Your last sentence really got to me. Ive said this for so long and tried my best to do the same for my sons, thank you.

[@Paul-go8nw]

I remember one of my neighbors in Tottenham , took me to see Spur's v Manchester united in the early 70s at White hart lane. Even the Tottenham supporter's where applauding Gearge Best when attacking the Spur's defense with such talent in the control of the ball at his feet.. He was like lightning on and off the ball. Still remember him like yesterday. Great memories from my youngest days. Loved the most talented player of all time, as far as I am concerned.

[@ianmeredith2486]

I've seen loads of the greats live over my 64 years. He is right up there with the true greats.

Oh I loved him back in the day, its such a shame how he ended up bless him, can't wait for this. I've seen Our History where they find out the exact reason he passed away before his time. Xx

[@shakeycamera]

Wales v Northern Ireland, Home International match at Swansea around 1971, was waiting at the Train station after the match when I heard this screaming and George appeared running along the platform with his team bags to get the train to Paddington. What was funny was that there were two policemen trying to keep up with him (and failing) and behind them were about fifty screaming girls trying to catch him - I think he managed to get the train without mishap. Wouldn't happen now with the cosseted life Premier players ( who haven't the tenth of the talent George had) have but shows how times have changed. Thankyou George, one of the best players the world has seen....

I remember going to watch Fulham play and as I was walking to the turnstiles there was some shouting so I turned round to see what was happening. Walking up the road was George Best and Rodney Marsh if only Mobiles were around then I would of got a great photo as he walked by me smiling. What a legend RIP George Best ❤

[@keithglaysher9201]

I never really got into footie, but as a kid I can so remember the utter magic of the skills of George Best, it was like he knew he was, well just the Best, he would just run rings around any other player, we all wanted to look like him with his good looks, he used to feature large in the clothing ads in the catalogs, a real trend setter was George..

[@Susan.1958]

We used to sing to George when we went to Old Trafford,Georgi the Belfast boy what a legend of a player back in his football days.Then he turned to drink and woman what a G.OAT R.I.P💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@stewartgreig3272]

Some people just don't realise he was such a courteous quiet person. He did so much for charity. People only think about him as a footballer but he was so much more. He loved helping children.

[@williamdavies6241]

I was one of many thousands of fans locked outside O.T. when George scored that memorable goal against Sheffield United , i was 15 I'M 67 now, and yet every time I see that goal on vidio i break my heart. . . . . . . . THANKS GEORGE FOR BEING THE BEST. . . . . . . .

[@fisherpeter695]

Though an Everton fan, I was lucky to see George at the peak of his career in the mid 1960s One game I recall was Everton v Man Utd in August 1966. Everton were a top side and FA Cup holders But in a mid week match at Goodison Park, George created two second half goals for United to win 2-1 His display against full back Ray Wilson was world class. and he had been a full England international. In August 1967 the two sides met again, and to see George, Alex Young, Alan Ball, Denis Law, and Bobby Charlton on the same pitch was watching world class players that would grace any era. Everton won that game which is on YT.

[@philipcorrigan507]

Looking forward to this one.

I don't know what to make of visiting graves. I'm a little 50/50 and personally think that should be left to close friends and family but like I say I'm not sure. Away from that George was brilliant and brought great pleasure to us mancunians. And many others throughout the world. Met him once in a bar in Blackpool. And he had time for everyone. Rip George and thanks for the memories.

[@jimmorrison3756]

Hi Paul, my late Father saw Best play for Utd at Anfield Against Liverpool and he told me he was the best Winger he had ever seen. And this is from a Man who was Liverpool through and Through. He must have been decent for my Dad to say that about George. Sad the way he passed due to drink. I used to watch soccer saturday when George was a guest on there. He seemed like a shy nervous type of man who you wouldn't dream would be in the limelight. RIP George 🕊🙏⚽️ Great video Paul from Liverpool UK
