11 of the greatest wingers of all time

#4 George Best

Best is still considered to be one of the greatest icons of Manchester United

Pele named George Best as one of the greatest players of all time. A great dribbler and goalscorer, Best was one of the first superstar footballers in England and one of the greatest stars in a Manchester United team, which included Bobby Charlton and Denis Law.

His abilities were on show in the European Cup in 1966 and he inspired the side to win it two years on.

Two-footed, the Irishman could play on either wing and loved to switch sides constantly, working very hard for his club. Had his career not ended so early, Best would probably be at the top of many lists around the world. Despite his premature end, the Irishman still had a massive impact on the game.

His pace and goalscoring instincts were always on show every time he stepped on the pitch for either Manchester United or Northern Ireland, but it was his dribbling that made him so good.

Like so many on this list, Best had the ability to glide past defenders and toying with them as he swept them aside on his way to scoring 181 goals for the club in the process.
