George Best's Grave - Famous Grave George Best

[@geoffharris9396]

''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.

Thanks for taking the time to come to Northern Ireland and visiting George's grave Paul 🙏🙏

[@maureeno5034]

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🌹

My late brother's favourite Man united player back in the day. My brother John was a great Man united supporter in the 60's

[@JRobertson-w1o]

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.

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

He is THE BEST ever footballer no one comes close, he plied his trade on rubbish pitches unlike the footballers of today.

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

[@Mike-hg1fn]

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. 🙏

[@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.

[@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.

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❤

[@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..

[@Anita-sadsac61ish]

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

[@rickyb5499]

Thanks Paul, I really did enjoy watching this video and well done for taking the trip to N. Ireland 👍 I was lucky enough to see George Best play for my team Hibernian, his home debut in Edinburgh, December 79. He could not prevent my team being relegated at the end of that season, but he did show his genius on many occasions, for all fans who were lucky enough to see him play in Scotland from 1979 - 80. Stand out games, beating Rangers just before Christmas 79, scoring against Celtic, Jan 80. The ball and goalkeeper Peter Latchford into the net. The game finished 1 - 1, a Hibs penalty was also missed in that match, which came off the bar, not taken by George. He played in the Scottish Cup semi - final, April 80 against Celtic at Hampden Park, Glasgow. One flash of genius in the centre circle, even had the Celtic fan’s applauding, however he could not stop a Celtic win. For anyone interested please check the famous picture of George surrounded by empty glasses in an Edinburgh pub, looking bleary eyed. A one in a million shot by the photographer, the truth being the whole Hibs team were there and all drinking, not just George. The name of the pub, Jinglin Geordie, not named after Mr Best. A book written covers many a story, ‘When George Came to Edinburgh’. If anyone visits the pub, yes there is copy of the photograph and the story. From his time at Hibernian, the players from that era all say, he was no ‘big time Charlie’, very generous and a nice guy. Unfortunately he had his demons and he did. Personally, the most gifted footballer I’ve ever seen play and my favourite. George, R.I.P. with Mum and Dad 🙏

[@spirit5278]

I knew George for nearly 25 years , nicest guy in the world . I even got him out of a few fights because of stupid people trying to be clever . We spent many evenings in clubs in London Mayfair and it was wild. Tried so many time to get him to stop the drink but it was impossible. I went abroad for a few years and when I got back I went to his house to find home ,his Gf told me he is in the pub . I found him sitting alone watch football on to with a drink in his hand. It was sad to see . He was shocked and pleased at the same time and hugged me and even kissed me on the cheek . He almost cried and we sat down and talked for many hours. . I felt sorry for him because people were around him for themselves. I gave him a lift home and saw him a week later ,he cried and told me that he knew time was not on his side . It broke my heart . It was almost like a self destruct button waiting to be pushed . RIP my fries and god bless you. .

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

[@patdoe5242]

A true legend and never forgotten RIP George

[@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.

[@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....
