"If you'd given me the choice of going out and beating four men and smashing a goal in from thirty yards against Liverpool or going to bed with Miss World, it would have been a difficult choice. Luckily, I had both."

The man who put the 'Devil' in 'Red Devil', George Best was arguably the most skilful player to have graced Old Trafford.

He won the European Cup in one of that famous competition's greatest individual displays against mighty Benfica in the Final, winning redemption for a side, and city, that had suffered immensely in Munich - along with winning the Balon d'Or... aged just 22.

Nicknamed the Fifth Beatle, he was one of the very first celebrity footballers - a man well ahead of his time... but it's not his off-pitch antics that's gotten him a place on this list.

On the pitch, he braved the rough, tough, world of '60s and '70s football and stayed true to his instincts - dribbling, nay, gliding past opponents like they weren't there, stunning crowds across the land with his audacity and his skill, winning hearts and games with the easy ease of a man who knew he was... pardon the pun... the best.

On his legacy, he once said - "They'll forget all the rubbish when I've gone and they'll remember the football. If only one person thinks I'm the best player in the world, that's good enough for me"

Rest In Peace Georgie. There's more than one person thinks that, trust us on this.
