Would take 1 Phil Neville over a 100 George Bests.

To think I was undecided about COTY

Can't believe you're calling Reno a nurse.

I know, arguably our greatest player.

I think that Reno has some unresolved issues around alcoholism that haven't been dealt with.

When he see's George Best, Tosh Lyons from the Bill or Believe all the resentments resurface as he relates their drinking behaviour to an incident or group of incidents that has previously affected him maybe even from childhood.

Put it out there Reno

He'd only ever do it on here. Just imagine him spouting that in a United pub on match day.

Reno definitely wants a mention at the FOTY awards doesn't he?

I was in a pub in Belfast a few hours after Best was buried and the locals in the vault were looking at the news and the footage from the funeral and were shouting £#%&! George Best.

He wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Scouce bar then? No surprise there.

no just a pub on an estate with an Alsatian on the roof

I am old/lucky enough to have seen George play, in fact there's a fleeting glimpse of me on the fence at the front of the scoreboard end here

As stoney said, probably our greatest ever player

For me, only Ronnie came close

I'll pay for this statue with the money I make from tatty.
