George Best: A rockstar on and off the pitch.

The first Rockstar footballer if there was any, George Best was one of the players whose reputation entered the room way before he did. He is considered as a good footballer, but people rarely recognize the genius that he was. He was as suave on the ball as he was with the ladies and he scored on all fronts with full aplomb and without a worry of the public opinion.

1968 was certainly the pinnacle of his career for the ‘5th Beatle’ as he was part of the Manchester United team that won the European Championship and won the Ballon d'Or. One of the biggest disappointments of his career would be the fact that he never appeared in a World Cup, largely down to his choice of playing for the Northern Irish.
