Why should I know George Best?

“I might go to Alcoholics Anonymous, but I think it would be difficult for me to remain anonymous.”

“I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.”

“If you'd given me the choice of going out and beating four men and smashing a goal in from thirty yards against Liverpool or going to bed with Miss World, it would have been a difficult choice. Luckily, I had both.”

“In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol. It was the worst 20 minutes of my life.”

“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.”
