"(Simply) The Best" - Tina Turner, 1989

George Best died today. Some think he's the greatest football (i.e. soccer) player Britain ever produced.

For my American readers, this is the equivalent of the death of Mickey Mantle, Joe Namath, or Michael Jordan.

RIP, George. You knew, of course, that your lifestyle could be cutting years off your life. But you were a superb athelete, and hopefully you'll be remembered mostly for that.

Here is the BBC's page about the death of George Best.
