Most people on the planet recognize Pele n maradona as the greatest footballers ever.....people with out a lot of awareness on the game tend to think they 2 are a class apart.....i feel otherwise. There are several other names which can definetly be placed along side pele n maradona.....Lionel Messi, C. Ronaldo, Luis Ronaldo, Zenedine Zidane, Johan Cryuff, Hristo Stoichkov, Alfredo de stefano..... the list goes on....Its Just that there are so many great players that have graced the game....
Above all these names i admire two people for being footballing geniuses....one is Duncan edwards n the other one was a handsome northern irishman who has done such thins which got audience across europe to edge of their seats when they saw him play.....His name was George Best.... His pace n awareness of the people around him was second to none...his trickery and intelligence can only be matched by lionel messi.... with the current footballs which are designed by adidas n nike tricks may be much easier...but even with the old n big footballs goergies step overs and dodging were eye catching.....
unlike pele n maradona georgie never got a chance to play in the world cup as northern ireland never qualified for it..... had that happened the history books and the perception of fans would have been different........... Gergie may not have won world cupsbut his talent n footballing mind r the best there was.... especially the old trafford faithfull will remember him n will name him as arguably the best player that evr graced the game!
Happy Birthday Georgie!
