George Best joins the Sportscafe couch - Manchester United, the European Cup, the 60s, and the bet he made with his mates about his right foot.

He talks about leaving Belfast at 15 and going home the next day, becoming the fifth Beatle after a night in Portugal, why he took off to America, and what he actually enjoyed most about playing. Plus a debate with Zinzan Brooke over who exactly is the best player in the world.
