George Best video

Here's a cool video of Manchester United hero from the 60's, George Best. I was very unfamiliar with him until he died when we were in London in November, 2005. The papers were plastered with his obituary and tributes. I guess he led a very dissolute life after his career but while he was on top, he was supposed to have been amazing. He did come over to the US to play in the North American Soccer League in the 70s. Pele and Beckenbauer, stars who were a little past their primes, also played then. This clip reminds me a bit of the documentary done on Zidane, which followed him for an entire game. Unlike that film, Best did not get a red card for rough play.
