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.

I'm too young to have remembered the guy in his playing days. But for Pele to say he was the greatest player in the world, he must have been something special.

So long George.
