Best was my favourite player at the time, more so than even Jimmy Greaves. He's stiil the most naturally-gifted player I've ever seen play in the English league. Maradona's the most gifted player ever in my lifetime, including Pele, and would always be first on my teamsheet.Believe me, I wasn't too old then either! If anyone lived through the George Best years then I can only compare the veneration felt for both he and Garrincha. Di Stefano was definitely prior to my awakening!
