off the court is a complete liar, but on the court is an absolute football genius. King Bailey once commented on him like this: "He is the greatest football player in the world."

On May 22, 1946, was born in a poor family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In English, Best means "best", which shows that since the day of his arrival, his parents hoped that Best would become the best. In 1961, the 15-year-old Best was discovered by Manchester United scouts and

It was brought to England. Two years later, in the international competition between Northern Ireland and Wales, the 17-year-old Best scored a hat trick. From then on, a shining star emerged.

When Best joined Manchester United, it was the time for the Red Devils to be in a historic crisis. In 1958, the "Munich Air Crash" destroyed Manchester United's backbone, and Busby, who survived, vowed to rebuild Manchester United within 5 years. In this "5-year plan", Best became a very important member. He and Bobby Charlton and Dennis Law formed the most luxurious front line in Manchester United's history. In 1965, Manchester United won the league championship again after winning the league in 1957; in 1967, Manchester United won the league championship again. In the two seasons of winning the championship, Best made great contributions to the team.

In 1968, Manchester United won the first Champions League championship in history. In the final, they met with Portugal's veteran team Benfica. In the end, they defeated their opponent 4-1, and Best scored a goal in the game. This game is a classic. In the 90-minute game, the two teams drew 1-1. In the overtime, Manchester United scored three goals in the first 8 minutes. The goal scored by Best was even more exciting and personal performance. He first received the ball with his back to the goal, then suddenly turned around and drifted over the goalkeeper like a magic trick, sending the ball into the empty goal.

In 1968, Best also won the highest honor in his career: the European Footballer. However, his overly extravagant and corrupt style and casual discipline made Best's position in the club shake. In 1972, he had to go to the United States to continue his football career. According to statistics, during his time at Manchester United, Best played more than 300 games and scored 147 goals.

Football is like a well-behaved child at Best's feet. He can always score some incredible goals in the game. In the 1970 FA Cup, he scored 6 goals in a game, one of which he dribbled through the opponent's entire defense line. After passing the goalkeeper, he parked the ball on the goal line and then knocked the ball into the net. However, in Best's mind, this was not the most beautiful goal. Best said that his most exciting goal was scored in the American League in 1981.

"I drove the ball and broke through. I first drifted past one player, then another, and in the end, I drifted past five players within 10 yards. I didn't know how I completed this goal at that time. After the game, I saw this goal on TV, and even I was shocked." Best described his best goal in his mind.

After retiring, was a TV commentator and published an autobiography, but people knew that his news was more about alcohol. However, this did not affect his reputation on the court at all. Among the top ten players in the last century selected by the British authoritative "World Football" magazine, Best ranked 8th, and his ranking even surpassed Basten and Eusepio.

What does look like in the eyes of people in the circle? Let's hear what those who have fought with him and witnessed his performance on the court said.

Dennis Law (former Manchester United legendary shooter):

"From 1964 to 1969, Best was the best player in the country, but even so, I think we

Still haven't seen him really show his potential, a player's true peak was around 28, but he was retired by then. He was one of the six best players I've ever seen, , Di Stefano, Cruyff, Maradona, Bailey and John Charles, and Best is definitely a player in this class."

Bobby Charlton (former Manchester United superstar):

Best is no worse than anyone else. In terms of talent and style, I think Cruyff is similar to him. Best is braver, while Cruyff has better organizational skills.

Johnny Giles (famous midfielder in the 1960s):

Best is the most talented player I have ever seen. He has super balance, speed, and two equally excellent feet. He is brave, strong, and heads very well. Bailey's talent is not as high as Best. He cannot surpass others in so many ways like Best. I personally think Best is better than Cruyff because he has more passion. In this regard, Maradona is very similar to him, but the difference between Maradona is more like the leader of a team, while Best is a lonely genius who never gives orders on the court.

David Sadler (famous Manchester United star in the 1960s):

Best is the greatest player I have ever met. He can be put in any position on the team that won the 1968 Champions League and is better than the original one at that position. Bobby Charlton can do anything. Bailey never tackles because he doesn't need it, and Best doesn't need it, but he can tackle and you can't beat him.

Alex Ferguson (current Manchester United coach):
