A fondness for the bottle was a bigger problem (methinks)​

George Best was also famous for playing for Manchester United Football Club as well as for the Northern Irish football team.

He did have 2 things in common with me - as he was from a working class background,& he was also a Protestant.

Yes, I do have one of the Ulster Bank 5 Pounds commemorating him in my collection.

I visited Northern Ireland in 2011 and took this photo in Belfast .... Very interesting place to visit with huge amounts of murals on the end of buildings to see.



Not a Manchester United fan myself, where I came from they are known as Scumchester. But looking forward to playing them again after an absence of 16 years from the Premier League.

I have Fond memories of 3rd January 2010 when my team, then in the 3rd Division, knocked them, at the time Champions of the Premier League, out of the FA Cup.

​Do watch Green Street (2005)
This film, I am told was very close to real life, maybe it has calmed down now.
