On this day in 1946, one George Best was born in Belfast and a footballing icon was bequeathed unto the world. Happy 66th George!

As seen here in these brilliant archive photos from his late 60s/early 70s pomp, the man defined footballing cool up until it all sadly caught up with and duly got the better of him in later life (click any image for the full-size version)…

   @Nanny Plum

   How was he a “horrible human being”?

   You never even met the man.

   Keep your ignorant opinions to yourself you twonk.

   He was a drunken wife beater who habitually neglected his child. As far as I’m concerned that makes him a ‘horrible human being’

   He was a drunken wife beater. By any analysis that makes him a ‘horrible human being’.

   As a man from Belfast, may I just ask you to shut yer bakes.

   George is a legend, and if you’re going to drag up his entire life then why not do that with some other legends?

   No man is perfect.

   I remember George Best as the best footballer we’ve ever had, and at that one of the best the world has ever seen.

   Not bad for a wee country in between the UK and Ireland with a tiny population.

   Happy birthday George, cheers m8!
