How good was George Best actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on George Best who played for Manchester United for most of his career, not only one of the greatest forwards of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how George Best ranks and just how good was he.

He saved Man Utd, but later on, he needed someone to save him.
Rest in peace legend!
RIP legend 🏴

I'm afraid even given a second chance he couldn't be saved. By then he was only a shadow.
If Best had not drank and practiced hard he would be beyond comparison. He accomplished everything as a soccer player half drunk on the field, that's how talented he was.
Football
but perhaps if he wasn't half drunk he could not have done it. not drinking and training is part of the job. Besides that: he was indeed brilliant.
Idk, he might have been fully drunk.
Without your demons you don't have your angels.
You can have an opinion while calling it soccer
In another documentary about George Best I saw (might have been one of those "Football's Greatest" ones), he did at one point suggest that immediately after winning the European Cup he was personally hungry for more success and trophies, but he looked around and felt like for everyone else, that victory was the end of the journey, the end of their ambitions. He then stuck around still because of a fondness and loyalty to Matt Busby and the club. Seeing the club's winning qualities decline, his own professional ambitions declined also.
I also heard somewhere the suggestion that his "playboy lifestyle" was actually more lucrative for a while than his professional football career. Being a face got him appearance fees, advertisements and god knows what else. Even if that isn't exactly true, it is easy to see how a young man's head might get turned considering football alone wouldn't have been making him rich anyway.
I am a lifelong United fan who grew up watching the 1960s team. George Best was one of the best players of all time. He would be a world class player in any era.
Out of all these top players , George was by far the best tackler . He was always robbing players of the ball and could dribble with both feet which I haven’t seen a lot . He didn’t have tricks he had balance and a complete mastery of the ball . At George of the Best , patron Saint of the greedy
bryan robson did the same too
bro he was deemed as greatest player by pele at a time when pele wasn't a drunk deluded person
can anyone tell me about his vision and passing?
@@masrafiafnanroblox7710 he was a great passer of the ball when he wanted but sir Matt had one vision for him , be a marauder of defences ,score goals . His team
Talks consisted of go out and enjoy yourselves and give the ball to George . He was their match winner
@@pendragonfilmcomplete rubbish! He didn't always just run at teams he was always passing
A shame he never got to play in a World Cup. One of the best of all time, top 10 for me!
If you’re just going off ball control, talent, and skill then he’s easily only behind Pele and Messi in his prime but his prime is over everyone else it was that good even Pele called him the best in the world
He’s better than Messi.. top 5 definitely
Man I'm addicted to your content. Really wholesome stuff. My suggestion is that you do 1. Pipo Inzaghi 2.Patrick Kluivert 3.Pep Guardiola 4. Robie Fowler
Thanks so much! I'll add those to my list
George best is one of the best players of all time he could play in the centre and on both the flanks an all rounder good passing great speed close control dribbling and amazing agility and above all an amazing football mind
Can you make a “just how good was Franz Beckenbauer” video plz
Yes!! Arguably the greatest CB of all time
@@luanemusic735 lmaooo he means daily dose of football
@@luanemusic735 yes
@@luanemusic735 id say maldini but beckenbauer close second
Can you do just how good was Denis law
Teardripping documentary, this. How fame and glory can change even the greatest talent of them all. Maybe things would have been different, if he had another citizenship (Northern Ireland, of course, never reached far) - but then again; a humble and shy teenager couldn't resist all the temptations of life. One of the top ten greatest players of all time. And a gentleman, as well. Rest in peace, George Best!
I remember George Best as a young child, there was nobody like him.
Are u like 70 or something?
Truly the most gifted player to ever exist. Had potential levels beyond messi and ronaldo. He just couldn’t reach that potential to it’s full extent and he will be remembered in all of football for years to come. RIP
Of course he reached his potential 😂 he won a ballon dor fgs!
@@dondamon4669Dude he could’ve won more
Lies again? Grab BAFTA Debit Card
I was lucky enough to see George play [for real] during the late 1960's and early 1970's. He was by far the best player I have ever seen. Simply mesmerizing. Even in a star-studded team that featured the brilliance of Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton and Paddy Crerand, George was on another level. He could do things with the ball that no other player at that time could do.
I became a life-long Manchester Utd fan [even though I'm from the Midlands], grew my hair long and modeled myself on George as a young boy at school. I would wear the iconic blood red long-sleeve Utd shirt [gripping the cuffs, Best-style] whenever I played. I became a pacey left-sided winger and once scored 5 goals in a school match.
People use the word 'genius' lightly these days - but nobody in football deserves that title more than George Best. He single-handedly revolutionized the game and inspired countless young boys just like me. Thank you George.
There are countless better players than him
@@Joshflemin .......Are you ok? Did you forget to take your meds today?
@@Joshflemin keep on the drugs mate! The greatest ever for me!
@@Joshfleminwhat are you smoking dude💀💀💀
@@JoshfleminYou are a 🤡
I think you underrated him in the trophy stat, you got to remember he was one of the youngest ballon d’or winners ever being the most important player in Man Us first ever european cup win.
Absolute Genius, Like the others, Maradona, Socrates and even Pele. great at Fooltball but still Searching. Makes me cry a little.
Sorry, Maradona was a cheat and a criminal. He should be banned from any list of fair players.
Such a fantastic player. Love watching his videos on RUclips.
Simply the best player .
Hey man, I love your videos. Keep going. You’ll get there 💪🏿🙌🏿
That was a completely different game back then. It was a combination of football and rugby. Technology and medicine were krapp back then so no growth hormones and especially absolutely no referee protection and no major big oil empires buying football clubs.
It was probably better for that.
I knew the story but you’re a great story teller and I thought I was hearing it for the first time
I love your videos bro❤️ Keep grinding
As a northern Irish man I am very proud
you paddies/ulstermen gave the world the worlds greatest footballer ever [God i wish he had been English] you also had arguably the best British goalkeeper in Pat Jennings well it was a toss up who was the best goalie jennings or Banks. oh Best and Jennings shared a room for N/IRELAND
what a video well done
Thanks!
Footballs first superstar, that transcended the gsme of football, aka the 5th beatle.
I love your work, here's a list of some names maybe you could do videos about if you have time I know it takes many hours to make videos, these are just suggestions to help you
Edgar Davids, Patrick, Kluivert, David Trezguet, Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, David Villa, Davor Suker, Rudd Gullit, Raul, George Weah, Lothar Matthaus & Oliver Kahn
Thanks for the suggestions!
Beautiful video.
Once called the white pele.best replied Pele was the black George best. LEGEND
He never reached his pinnacle
Absolutely mercurial talent
nice videos tbh and definetly not easy to make... i would recommand doing a video about 2 of the best romania ever had. Gheorghe Hagi and Nicolae Dobrin who Real Madrid almost signed him. Thanks
Can you please do one on Sócrates? It could be an interesting video. He was cool as fuck
I love him, might do it soon
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT that would be awesome. Great content by the way. And have a happy new year!
Socrates with Democracia
Sadly the drink got to George...if he'd stayed on the straight and narrow my own personal opinion is he was and could've been known as the greatest player that ever lived. He was mesmerising to watch, his presence on the pitch was beyond compare. He could play any position and was gifted with right and left foot excellence. I met someone who knew him and said he was fantastic and very, very shy. He truly was a genius and I miss him to this day, he was my childhood hero...RIP George.
Can you please do just how good was zinidine zidane
Love Zidane, eventually I'll make that for sure
Thanks
10/10 good video
Very interesting video!
I didn't know very much about Best, only that he is one of the best players to have ever played the game.
Could you make a video about Matthias Sammer - last German player to be Europe's F.O.T.Y. and by lot of people considered to be a better Libero than Beckenbauer?
My uncle was at the international game at Windsor Park when Best nutmegged Cryuff
@@CBrackenridge One legend nutmegged the other legend! Two of the all time greats!
What an epic moment your uncle has witnessed! 😎👍
"by lot of people considered to be a better Libero than Beckenbauer" - no way!
@@Donan777 but yes. 🤷♂
I hope you do on how good was Paul Scholes, Bobby Moore, Steven Gerrard and Ryan Giggs
😂😂😂😂best was waay better
@@willvicscar5910 The best ever!
fantastic
Love the videos keep up the good work
How about one on Paddy McCourt, reminds me so much of George.
The Manchester United 1960s side, massively underachieved. Boasting three ballon d'Or winners ( Charlton, Law, Best ) . Two world cup winners ( Charlton & Stiles ). A top Scottish international in Crerand. They should have won numerous domestic league titles, FA Cups & at least have made it to at least, three to four European Cup Finals between 1963 to 1969. Two league titles wins. One FA Cup win & one European Cup win is a average return, for a side boasting so much talent...
Put *_that_* into perspective with Di Stéfano Real Madrid, five European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. Cruyff Ajax, three European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. Beckenbauer Bayern Munich, three European Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins. C. Ronaldo four Real Madrid, Champions League Cup wins & one European Cup win with Man Utd & numerous domestic league title wins. Messi Barcelona, four Champions League Cup wins & numerous domestic league title wins & it's obvious how Man Utd & Best, way underachieved, compared to those other illustrious luminaries.
Best was an extraordinary player, with unbelievable ball coordinations & balance, which enabled him to pivot on a six pence away from defenders in tight tricky situations. Being brilliantly ambidextrous, allowed him to switch directions at a seconds notice. However, he wasn't able to carry Man Utd to the sort of European dominantion like the players i mentioned.
Don't forget they had to start from scratch after 58 munich disaster. Yet winning 3 balondor plus European cup is impressive
Well they would’ve won in 1966 if Best didn’t get injured for the semis, and they were robbed in the 1969 semi after Law’s goal was incorrectly disallowed. It was more difficult to win league titles back then when playing in Europe as travel was more difficult and squads were smaller.
my biggest inspiration, always tryna be as smooth as him on the pitch, hope i play for my club one day
You should take inspiration from Cruyff and Maradona instead, they are the smoothest I’ve seen
Charlton was held back aerodynamically by his combover. I was born and raised in belfast beside Windsor park Lindfield fc my ancle played for the in 60s
George Best You are a Fantastic Football player You are the Best George Best Good bye the Belfast boy World legend Maradona Cruyff Pele George Best is the Best
The most skillful footballer I have ever seen. Not the best because football is a team game and he wasn't a team player.
But he played with poise and touch in a time where pitches were awful and defenders could kick you with impunity.
He had a good time I hope.
GLORY GLOOORRYY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, AS THE REDS GO MARCHING ON ON ON 🐐❤️🏆🔥😍#GGMU4L
I can tell you for sure, the commentator is not exaggerating. George Best was a phenomenon. People came to the stadium to see him, and only HIM play. Do yourself a favor and search for his name on RUclips.
I find most videos about football on RUclips are by people who don’t understand football, display epic ignorance and oblivious to the history of football
I must say though I’ve been hugely impressed by your channel. You get it, you understand, and your videos are great. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks, means a lot, spend a lot of time on this
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT keep it up. I’m fed up of videos who assume anyone born before 1980 must be crap because players were less fit and tactics weren’t as evolved
Mad skill
Thanks for everything Best you lived up to your name,now it my turn.
If Best, Maradona and Ronald played in todays football, with no injuries or giving into their vices, they would blow Messi and Cristiano out of the water
A Heads Up: Your "Roberto Baggio" Video isn't working. It's reporting as "This Video is Not Available".

Next video Recommendation-Video on tony Adams aka MR ARSENAL
Plzzzz
Please do a video on Davor Šuker
The most gifted football player ever.
He’s up there yeh , but there’s not one definitive answer to it. Messi, r9 , maradona, pele
Garrincha next please
George Best was the Jim Morrison of soccer.
In a way you are right, Jim died at 27, George was finished as player a top clasplayer at 27.
make one of Michael laudrup Please :-)
I hope you do on how good was Steven gerrad
I never expected him to play in my home country australia for 4 matches
I thiibk the score system is flawed because considering his short career he achieved so much. Maradona lasted longer which is why his stats are higher. Best had personality too, not just skill. I take ot from Pele...that is the only opinion that matters, forget the stats.
Me from northern Ireland
❤❤ yes he too look like 5th Beatles
"and 6 other players" complete lack of disrespect for the dead!!
I’d really like your view of Andrés Iniesta
If I could change my voice I would change it to Alfie’s from HITC sevens
But if I could change my accent it would be this man’s
Love the videos but, you should drop the ranking system asap. It always leaves me bitter at the end and it isn’t well flushed out at all. Otherwise it’s great and gives an insight to the careers of legends we may not have had the chance to witness fist hand.
Some people hate it, some love it, don't know what to do
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT : Do your own thing. Doing what everyone else does will just dilute your audience.
Thanks for the video, petty about his bad habits, he could have been greater
Can you make a video for Paul Scholes pls.
Ofc
Jimmy Johnstone of celtic next pal .
Do a video on Jancker from Bayern Munich
Pls do garrincha
Listen boy & listen good. King Kenny.
can you do one on hristo stoichkov?
He was Simply the Best
Can you make one of Carles Puyol
Sacrificing his life for the club. Rest in peace
I had the privilege of watching the greatest player EVER
The best player that ever existed, no question
Fair scores but icon factor is easily a 10, it doesn't matter how many young people don't care or don't know...the second they find out the sheer historic significance of Best, then anything other than the highest score seems unreasonable
Greatest player ever
2:20 George Best was NOT the captain of the 1964 FA Youth Cup team. Bobby Noble was the captain whose career was ended in a car crash.
George was good .........Very good ...........George was the greatest player of his time ,,maybe the best ever ,,probably was,. Take in consideration of the conditions LIVERPOOL FAN
What people don’t realise is he was gifted with both feet. Dribbling and scoring. Not even Messi could do that. Had he been disciplined he would have been the greatest of all time
can you do valderama?
Got him on the list
the 5th Beatle, the 1st Celebrity footballer off the pitch.
Baller No.1
This man has no trekkers
❤🏆🏆🏆👍
he is the best
Imagine if the pitches were as good then as they are now
I think they dubbed him "El Beatle" did they not? 😅
👑👑👑👑👑👑🏆🏆🏆💥💥🔥🔥🔥
the greatest footballer have always enjoy life off the pitch thus their longevity is lessened. Maradona, Best, Ronaldinho, Adriano etc etc
Sorry, Maradona was a cheat and a criminal. He should be banned from any list of fair players.
Just like Ronaldinho played fantastic even when they were drunk and both would have become true goats if they just trained
Icon factor 9?? He was the first ever football superstar, and in the top 5 players of all time
First football superstar was actually Di Stefano and Pele after that. And he’s not in the top 5 greatest ever - (in no order) Messi, Romario, Maradona, Pele, CR7
@@McFlashh the fact u romario in there instead of r9 is criminal
@@TankDatShit Romario was better than R9. R9 relied a lot on his physical ability, Romario was just pure skill. He scored over 750 official goals, and could dribble past any defender with ease. He was amazing
@@McFlashh r9 was literally a god with the ball at his feet, idk how many times he dribbled past the keeper to put it in, such a skillful player aslo. Romario was great but not on r9 level imo
@@TankDatShit Romario was also so technically skilled, the ball was stuck to him like a magnet. I never thought Romario was good until I saw vids of him and the stats. The guy was absolutely crazy, if he played today he would win multiple ballon dors and golden boots. He even nutmegged Maradona during the Copa America. Just imagine if he took football seriously instead of partying, the guy would have scored another 500+ goals
Do a video on lothar matthaus

@@paulhiggins1577 your momma
Makes me sick thinking about how good he would've been without his addiction to alcohol. What a player. Poor mentality. So sad.
Man was a genius on the ball but drank till he slept sadly
Imho George Best, as an idividual player, was both Best by name and the best footballer I have ever seen by nature.Being old I am privileged to have seen Gento, Puskas and Di Stefano, also Law, Charlton, Cantona, Ronaldo & Duncan Edwards, also Creuff, Neeskens, Pele, Rivelino, and Maradona. None of them could hold a candle to Best in his (short) heyday although Cantona was undoubtedly MU's best team - player ever.
The best football player there has ever been. He did what Messi did on bad pitches with a heavy ball and while getting hacked to pieces
