Manchester Utd 1968 'Best' Shirt with No7 George Best is widely acknowledged to have been one of the greatest football players of all time, mainly remembered for his halcyon days with Manchester United FC. He played for the Northern Ireland football team, but their lack of success during the peak of Best's career meant that, regrettably, he never was able to display his unique talent on the world stage. Best had a rare combination of pace, blistering acceleration, balance, two-footedness, goalscoring prowess and the ineffable ability to run through entire defences. He played for United as a winger between 1963 and 1974, helping them to win the Football League Championship in 1965 and 1967, and the European Cup in 1968. He was named European Footballer of the Year and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year in 1968, Indeed, Brazilian Pel, often said to be the greatest player of all time, once called Best "the greatest footballer in the world". The great Diego Maradona regarded Best equally highly. Best's brilliance is often summed up in one sentence: Maradona good, Pel better, George Best This shirt is long sleeved and made from 100% knitted cotton and comes with No7 and 'Best' screenprinted.
