Re: George Best
I watched his first game at United. A rather spindly chap getting kicked all over by the West Brom defenders and still managing to get up to run rings around them.

Interesting piece of not very interesting trivia to emerge from the programme, Reg.
The reality TV “star” was named Calum MILAN Best at the Christening font

That is why I hate Brian Marwood and Stuart Pearce.
The former done for Adrian Heath...and the other bugger ruined little Patsy Nevin’s career.
