1946 was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on May 22nd. As the most outstanding football star in the history of Northern Ireland, george best's ball control skills are unparalleled. He has good left and right feet and is good at heading. He played for Manchester United for six years, and together with denis law and Bobby Charlton, he created the second modern man of Manchester United.
1946 On May 22nd, Best was born in a poor family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Best means "best" in English. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he was discovered by a scout from Manchester United and signed up for the best club in the UK. 17 years old, representing Northern Ireland in international competitions against Wales, scored three goals. In this way, one of the most outstanding new stars in the history of Northern Ireland was born.
1963 Best made his first appearance for Manchester United. He scored the only goal against West Brom, who ranked second in the league. He deliberately stopped the ball in front of the opposing defender Graham Williams to let the opposing players see it clearly, and then tricked the opposing players with fake actions, took the ball straight to the goal and the ball went into the net.
1964 1 month, Manchester United's luxury collocation made its grand debut for the first time, and the "three-person core" composed of Dennis Law, Bobby Charlton and George Best made its debut when visiting West Bloom. The conditions at that time were very poor, and some players wore basketball shoes. The "three-man core" was very powerful in the game, scoring two goals, Charlton and Best each scored one goal, beating their opponents 4 ∶/kloc-0 ∶ Best's goal was rated as the best goal.
1958 The tragedy that happened when Manchester United changed planes in Munich claimed the lives of eight excellent players, including edwards Duncan. Surviving coaches Busby and Charlton vowed to rebuild Manchester United within five years to commemorate the dead players. Best's joining shortened the rebuilding process of Manchester United. 1963, the reorganized Manchester United defeated Lecce 3∶ 1 and made a comeback. People see the hope of Manchester United's revival in Best.
Best gradually healed Manchester United's wounds. 1964, Manchester United won the second place in the league and entered the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the European Cup. They played several beautiful games, defeated Aston Villa 7-0, 10: 1 defeated Dortmund, and won the West German League and the European Cup. Best became the most popular star. On average, he receives more than 65,438+0,000 fan letters every week. He is also known as "Beatle Five". When the players all have short hair, he is unconventional and has a Beatles-like hairstyle, which is quite fashionable.
1965 after the start of the new season, Best's performance on the court was average. They scored eight goals after seven rounds. At that time, the number of goals was very poor, and Manchester United ranked second to last in the league. Best is sitting on the bench. Later, he came out of the mountain again and his state reappeared, helping Manchester United overcome difficulties and reach the European Cup final. After that, Best suffered a knee injury and could not participate in the rest of the 2006-07 season.
On May 7th, 1967, Red Devils Manchester United and Lisbon Red Devils Benfica met at Wembley Stadium. Benfica, led by superstar Sebbio, vowed to compete with Manchester United, led by Best and Charlton.
The two sides tied in 90 minutes. In overtime, Best caught the ball with his back to the goal, suddenly turned around, magically slipped past the goalkeeper and sent the ball to the opponent's door. His goals are consistent and coherent. But best is not satisfied with this goal. He once dreamed that one day when he faced the goalkeeper in the penalty area, he would stop the ball on the line of the penalty area, and then he would lift the ball to the top of the goal. In the game against Benfica, he seized the key opportunity to behead Sebbio, who is regarded as the second in Stifano. Best was elected the best football player in Europe this year.
Things always split in two. Best's excellent performance on the court raised people's expectations of him. The fans hope that he will always maintain a first-class competitive state, and Best doesn't want to disappoint the fans. Over time, this expectation becomes an invisible pressure. He grew up in a poor living environment and worked hard, but at the peak of fame and fortune, he suddenly lost his feeling. Under the propaganda of the media, he thought he could do anything, just like Bond in the movie "007". He can't live without wine and beautiful women. As soon as the media mentioned his name, they stopped mentioning his skills, but mentioned his bad behavior such as drinking and making trouble. He has changed.
Manchester United was in a difficult period at that time. Bobby Charlton and Dennis Law are older and are already on the decline, while Best is arrogant, disobedient and often evades training. /kloc-just after 0/972, he spent the night outside with a young lady named Grande Breda and forgot to train. The club couldn't bear it any longer, so it made three decisions in a fit of pique: to provide meals in the club, to participate in training with the youth team, and to halve the salary.
1974 One afternoon, Best's embarrassing moment arrived. Club officials officially informed him that he would play as a substitute in the next game against Portsmouth. This is a big blow to Best, who thinks he is willful. He burst into tears. He had never been so sad in years.
It is best to leave Manchester United. In these years at Manchester United, Best's technology has been constantly improving and perfecting. He dribbles fast, can control the ball with both left and right feet, and dribbles well. Even if several defenders attack him, he can break through. His long pass is as accurate as his short pass, which may cause a fatal blow to his opponent at any time. He made 350 appearances for Manchester United and scored 135. He and his teammates won two league titles and a European Cup, and were elected European Footballer of the Year. Ball king Bailey once praised Best as his favorite star. Best has never participated in the World Cup finals, and he has no chance to compete with Bailey. Of course, he was glad to get such a high evaluation from Bailey.
1974 it's best to play in a club in America for two seasons. He moved from 1976 to Fulham, 1977, but was suspended by FIFA due to contract disputes.
During his two years playing football in America, Best lived in an apartment near the sea, and there was a nightclub next to it. He never swims in the sea, but he spends almost every day in nightclubs. The color of wine killed his fighting spirit and sealed his football talent.
After retiring, Best was invited to be the chief broadcast consultant of Manchester United football match, but he was still lazy and often unpunctual, so the TV station had to arrange a substitute for him and make up the channel at any time.
In 2000, 65,438+0,000 British sports journalists and professionals organized the selection of the best athletes in British history, and george best was fortunate to be elected. Ironically, he never knew how great he should have been. If he can live a clean life, the best is the best.
Since then, Best has been hospitalized many times for various diseases caused by alcohol. In 2005, he was admitted to a hospital in London again. The situation is quite dangerous. Eight weeks later, he was infected with lung due to kidney inflammation, and finally died on June 25th 165438+. At the age of 59.
The last name is the best, which means "the best" in English. He is God's best gift to the world: not only gave him a pair of feet that can command beautiful football, but also gave him an angelic appearance; He is the best player in Northern Ireland's history and one of Manchester United's greatest stars. It was he who made Red Devil 7 synonymous with popular classics.
He is a bad boy who will never grow up. Everyone always feels sorry for him-if he can live in a clean house, he will become a real gourmet. However, Jean george best never knew how great he should be.
Even he himself said, "When I leave, don't remember me drinking, chasing girls and famous cars, just remember my style of playing football, and I will be satisfied." Perhaps his charm lies not only in his incredible skills, but also in his romantic, handsome, drunk, dissolute, prodigal feelings and his little bad.
165438+1On October 25th, 59-year-old Best died of multiple organ failure in London Hospital due to a series of health problems. His coffin will be visited by fans in his hometown of Belfast.
Farewell, the greatest star.
On February 3rd, 65438, Best's funeral was held in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. According to the procedure, Best's coffin will be viewed by fans around Belfast. It is estimated that 500,000 fans will take to the streets to bid farewell to the greatest star in the history of Northern Ireland.
The mourning for Best by Manchester United fans is the most solemn spontaneous commemoration after the Munich air crash 1958 and the death of former head coach Sir Busby. 165438+1October 30th, even though Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 3- 1 at home, all the British media did not focus on the game itself when reporting the game, and commemorating Best was the highlight of Old Trafford. Although the temperature was very low on the day of the game, Old Trafford was packed. Before the game, coaches Ferguson and Brian Robson presented wreaths to Best.
In the pre-match 1 minute silence, the audience held high the portrait of Best smiling, and many loyal Red Devils fans who witnessed Best Modern were in tears. There are still many Manchester United fans who can't enter the stadium and wait silently outside the Old Trafford Stadium. After the game, all Manchester United fans always sing songs in praise of Best.
In recent days, letters commemorating Best flew to Manchester United Club from all over the world, and fans suggested that Manchester United solemnly commemorate this meritorious minister. The suggestions put forward by the fans include naming a stand at Old Trafford Stadium after Best, retiring the No.7 jersey worn by Best permanently, and erecting a statue for Best outside Old Trafford.
The genius of Belfast
1946 On May 22nd, Best was born in an ordinary docker's family in the suburb of Belfast. His father Dickie is an excellent amateur polo player, and Little Best inherits his father's sports talent and his love for alcohol. When he was only 14 months old (other children were still toddlers), Best had a picture of him standing on a football. Every Christmas after that, he can receive gifts related to football: a ball, a jersey, sports shoes and socks. ...
Little Best was so crazy about football that even though he was admitted to the best local school with straight A, he quickly gave up his studies and joined the local youth football club, hoping to become a professional player one day. However, Best's wish didn't come true until 15 years old. Bishop, the friend of head coach MacFarlane and the chief scout of Northern Ireland entrusted by Manchester United Club, once personally watched the game in which Best participated, and then sent a famous telegram to Busby, then head coach of Manchester United: "I found a genius."
Under Bishop's strong recommendation, Best came to Manchester alone and became a member of Manchester United's youth team (although less than 24 hours after meeting his new teammate, Best changed his mind and planned to go home, and was later severely reprimanded by his father and stayed). It was only because the FA had an age limit for players who played in the league at that time that Best didn't make his first appearance for the first team until1September 1963 14. His first opponent was West Brom.
The Beatles' rock and roll
When I was a child, I was best at practicing footwork with tennis. As an adult, he often tried to hit the crossbar from different distances in training (his standard was only one shot out of 65,438+00 times), and his superb skills also ensured his fame in the future. 1965, at the age of 19, Best won the first league championship in his career. He became the top scorer of the season, but he was undoubtedly Benfica. 1966 played for Manchester United in March.
It was the Champions League 1/4 final. Manchester United won 3-2 at home in the first leg, and no one believed that the second leg could escape the humiliation of the European hegemon. But in Lisbon, in front of 90,000 spectators, Best scored two goals in 12 minutes, and finally helped Manchester United beat Benfica of Sebbio 5-/kloc-0. After the game, the Portuguese media exclaimed: "ElBeatle ruined the stadium of light!"
The nickname "St. Beatles" spread like wildfire, because Best has the Beatles' hairstyle and prodigal talent, and all of them come from the working class. Talking about the wonderful goals of passing the ball through several defenders, including the goalkeeper, Best said: "I dream of passing the ball through the goalkeeper, then stopping the ball at the goal line, and then picking it up and going in with my head. I almost did it against Benfica. I kicked the opposing goalkeeper. Fortunately, I didn't do it in the end. Otherwise, the coach will have a heart attack? "
Two years later, the Champions League final at Wembley (the opponent happened to be Benfica) was the peak of Best's career. He almost "brought" the ball into the opponent's goal when the two sides scored 1 0/in the second half, and finally helped Manchester United win 4-1, becoming the first English team to win the European Champions Cup in history. He became the new standard-bearer for Britain to defend the football empire after the war. Coach Bass commented after the game: "Best can keep the ball from leaving his leg. Sometimes he looks like he has six legs. "
In addition, Best has also left many good memories for people in the international arena, such as 197 1 playing a hat trick against Cyprus on behalf of Northern Ireland at home and "stealing" the ball from legendary goalkeeper Banks against England, but unfortunately the goal was invalidated by the referee. From 1964 to 1977, Best only played 37 games for Northern Ireland and scored 9 goals. This seems to be not an ideal record, but Best also has his difficulties. On one occasion, a familiar reporter publicly stated at a press conference that Best was only "the second in the world". Best's answer is: "If I could play for Brazil and Pele in Northern Ireland, would you still say so?"
Once fallen angel
High salary (the highest annual salary in Manchester United's history is 65438+ 1 000), young and handsome, the best began to get lost, surrounded by wine and women, the more famous they became, the more they drank. The tabloid reporter tried every means to get him drunk in order to get the story of the date out of him. It is rumored that Best had an affair with seven Miss Worlds, but Best said modestly in his autobiography, "I only remember four ... I don't know who the other three are."
Best likes to tell people the story of the waiter: he brought breakfast to his room and saw Best drinking champagne in bed, next to the then Miss World, and all the thousands of pounds he won in the bet were scattered. He shouted, "George, what's the matter with you?" It doesn't seem very funny, and the ending is even worse. Best was later arrested by the police for drunk driving and his former stewardess wife divorced him.
Among women, Best didn't find true love: "I loved two women in my life, but I didn't marry them." He indulged his feelings and thought that giving up chasing women and drinking was the worst thing in his life. He said: "If given a choice, it will be difficult for me to make a choice, either skipping four defenders and shooting from 30 yards away or sleeping with Miss World. But fortunately, I did both, but one of them had to be in front of 50 thousand people. " Once, in order to date actress Kusak, he missed the team's train to London to play Chelsea.
Best once said, "If I am ugly, you don't know who Bailey is." Television broadcast helped Best become a superstar: his playing style and perverse behavior fascinated fans all over the world, and he even said, "At that time, as long as I opened my mouth and said that I was george best, a Manchester United player, everything would be unimpeded." But from then on, his life did not belong to him.
1In May, 1972, Best announced his retirement after making 36 appearances for Manchester United and scoring 136 goals. He was only 26 years old at that time. In order to avoid the call of Manchester United, he fled to Spain, where he spent four months on holiday. 1972 12, Manchester United put him on the sale list and announced a few days later that Best would be expelled from the team. In the following years, Best wandered around clubs in England, Scotland and the United States, but failed to return to his former state. To make matters worse, his profligate life left him penniless in his later years, even to the point where he had to auction the honorary trophy.
Now, Best has finally ended the bankruptcy, alcoholism and happy life that continues to appear in the headlines of British tabloids, but no one can take away his talent on the court. He will be regarded as the most wasteful person, which will go down in history forever.

Secondly, I often dream that I take the ball past the goalkeeper, stop it at the goal line, and then kneel down and head it into the net. I almost did it against Benfica in the Champions League final. I dodged the goalkeeper, but I finally got cold feet. If I really do this, the head coach will probably have a heart attack.

When I was thirteen, Sir Busby asked me to give a lecture. I usually stare at the mural behind him, which is full of animals. I was counting when he was giving a lecture.
