George Best, a true Legend
George Best, a true Legend, has died.
It's a sad day for the football world, it's a sad day for me.
There are many things that have been, and will be, said about
the boy from Belfast who took the football world by the scruff
of its neck and launched it into the world of entertainment, whilst
rightfully earning the title of 'the world's first footballing superstar'.
I could write about the many exploits of the world's greatest ever
player, but if you don't already know the stories you can, or
probably already have, read them in the numerous news articles
printed online and in traditional print. So I'll skip that.
Back in November 1996 I spent an amazing 3 days with a Legend
I had always dreamt of meeting. It was whilst I was running Kuala
Lumpur's first sports bar and I had brought George over from the
UK to do some publicity work for us.
Despite all of his well publicised shortcomings, this great footballer
is one of the gentlest, kindest, warmest, charitable and totally genuine
human beings I have ever met in all of my 45 yrs (20+ of which have
been spent traveling and meeting hundreds of thousands of people
both in and out of the entertainment world).
George made a profound impact on my life and I retain extremely
fond and vivid memories and I regret not having met up with him
again since. Especially as there were a couple of times during my
travels where our paths almost crossed.
I sit here with tears in my eyes, yet with warm feelings and joy that
I experienced from not only spending quality time with him, but also
from the sheer excitement of watching a true magician with a football.
George you will be missed and as you quite rightly said :
“They won’t remember who I dated, the fights, the car crashes or whatever.
They won’t remember any of that because it’s not important. They will
remember the football”.
NO one who saw him play will ever forget George Best.
I won’t forget him for the person that he actually was.
God Bless you George.

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
Dr. Whoami
P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
