Football and Music

Last week we looked at Denis Law and the 70’s. Today it is the turn of a bloke who was Law’s team mate at Man U for a couple of seasons.

Probably the best (no pun intended) player never to play in a World Cup.

Georgie Best.

These songs are not reflections of his performance on the pitch, there’s been (obviously) loads of songs recorded about him in relation to that - and I’ll do them at a later date. Today we are looking at his life and loves.

Bestie had a fondness for drinking and gambling but what he most liked was his dolly birds.

I just noticed looking at the slides that he liked the blondes…

To the music then and from a studio created group named: “Her” and a song about an obsession with the man.

Next up is an interview with the man himself talking about the girls he preferred, plus TV news items about his troubles:

Extra time video:

Keep a lookout for “Best”. A biographic-type movie made in 2000 starring John Lynch as Bestie and Roger Daltry as Rodney Marsh. It follows his life from the halcyon days playing for United & Northern Ireland and to his off the field activities.
