He was an incredibly skilful and creative forward, celebrated for his dribbling, pace, and two-footedness. Today, on the 20th anniversary of his death, we remember George Best - a player whose style was characterised by magical moments, bravery, and flair.
Celebrating the great George Best on the 20th anniversary of his death.
Bill Gates, the inspiration behind Head Safe Football, always said that George Best of Man United was the best player he ever played against. That is why this photo had pride of place in Bill’s home. Bill wryly described this tackle as the only time he ever tackled Bestie and won the ball.
This week, the 20th anniversary of George Best’s death, we celebrate Bestie as one of the ‘greats’ of football. Let’s also remember all the footballers who have created such precious sporting memories for us all - and together work to safeguard the memories of all footballers of today and tomorrow! FMTTM
