Memorable Quotes from 'The Fifth Beatle':

''They say I slept with seven Miss Worlds. I didn't - it was only four. I didn't turn up for the other three.''

''Perhaps he saw something I didn't.'' Best on the bellboy who, on seeing the drunken star in bed with the then Miss World, a large magnum of champagne and a large sum of money won from the previous night of gambling, famously exclaimed ''George, where did it all go wrong?''

''He can't kick with his left foot, he can't head a ball, he can't tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right.'' Best on England football captain David Beckham

to Georgy-boy.

Best was in his heyday when I was a kid. He really was awesome to watch. RIP

Those are some fantastic quotes.

Everyone says most of the fantastic stuff he did on football field was never televised, which was a shame.

I dont think you can class him as the greatest footballer of all time though, simply because he did not play in a world cup and he threw his career away in his 20's. He maybe had the talent to be though
