With the sad passing of Northern Ireland player Alan McDonald I got thinking about another Belfast lad...George Best. Enjoy. [video=youtube;qs6WTt7atic]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs6WTt7atic&feature=related[/video]
Not that I was around at the time but I get the impression that if he'd been the model pro it would have taken something away from him, as if his personality was reflected in his play. A flawed genius if you will. 'The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw', a book about Robin Friday, is a real example of someone that pissed it away.
