BennO is right. Stackpole are you by any chance just a young wipper snapper?
I am lucky enough to remember watching George on the ol' black an white with my Grandad...and belive me he was the best. Pele was a great player and a gentleman...Maradonna was great in flashes and as a flawed Genius a cheating bar-steward. Best was a natural genius..and if he had played for England and not Northern Ireland....well
I take your point, but I can only go on what I've seen on TV and the opinions of people who saw them. I have only seen the world cup videos of Pele, and hardly anything of Di Stefano, which makes it difficult, but I've seen a lot of videos of Best and Maradona.
I'm also old enough to remember the 1986 and 1990 world cups, and I hated Maradona. But on relection he seemed able to do anything, and he dragged Argentine to two world cup finals almost on his own. Few people remember any of those two Argentine teams, whereas even I know some of the other great players for Brazil in 1970 and Man Utd in 1968.
My dad thought Best was great, but Maradona was something else. He saw both play live, although that's not always conclusive.
The fact that Maradona was also a cheating bar steward and all-round nasty piece of work is neither here nor there really, we aren't voting for president.
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
When anyone has a "best" this or that poll they are always biased towards the latter day. Remember the best doesn't mean the most talented. One thing people seem to forget about Best is he was brilliant on football pitches you don't see outside of the natiowide conference these days i.e. a ploughed field. Imagine how good he would of been on today's playing surfaces.
George may not have been the best, but he was one of them!
Cue some smarmy little sh1t being nasty because he's so cool, man.
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
Yep, they had to otherwise he wouldn't have made it onto the plane to visit his mate in Cuba.
I believe they stapled his stomach or something...now if they'd done something like that with Best as well, cut his drinking down to a glass or two a day, then he might still be around.
