The legendary manager of “Manchester United” Sir Alex Ferguson believes that former United forward George Best is the greatest British player of all time.
“He was such a fantastic footballer. I think everyone at ‘Manchester United’ considers Best one of the greatest players of all time. And I think that’s how we should remember him.
When talking about football, within this club and the history of English football, I would say there has never been a better British player. When it comes to global recognition, the problem with Best is that he never played in a World Cup final or semi-final.
Players in such a situation are deprived of the opportunity to be evaluated among the greatest footballers in the world. Nevertheless, Best holds a high place in the pantheon of great players,” Fergusson is quoted by GiveMeSport.
