The RIP Thread

[Orifice]

The loss of a true footballing genius. An amazing player and an amazing character. He never will be forgotten for what he did both on and off the pitch. To me he was possibly THE greatest footballer that I’ve seen.

George Best. Died 15 years ago today.

Yeah but who here hasn’t filled their entire head with Bolivian marching powder immediately before a World Cup match

I was at that game. The first of several seen at three-sided grounds.
