George Best
And the greatest playboy of them all is arguably the most gifted player the United Kingdom has ever produced.
He was such a delight to watch that United fans of that era still sing eulogies in his name and claim to have not seen a player like him in their lifetime.

“In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.”
