Gryph Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well supposedly "Pelé once stated that George Best was the best player he ever saw play and named him as one of the 125 best living footballers in his 2004 FIFA 100 list."Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_BestSo yeah, he was good.

wacko_jacko Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 George Best was very good, but he was no Pele. Both players made a lot of defenders look very silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 George Best is only 3rd in my book. Maradona is no.1, Pele is no.2 and Best is 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobdrakke Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 R.I.P George Best 3rd or 1st in the world is still is an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 George Best is only 3rd in my book. Maradona is no.1, Pele is no.2 and Best is 3.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Only 3rd? That seems like quite a high position to be in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
