A few readers have asked me about my previous work hence here is a featured article from India's largest all sports website - Sportskeeda. This article was also selected as an Editor's pick.
“Boss, I think I’ve found you a genius” were the only words Manchester United manager Sir Matt Busby read in a telegram, which was sent from Belfast to Manchester. The ‘genius’ in question was a 15 year old George Best and the words to describe his precocious talent were used by Bob Bishop, who was a talent scout for the football club. In 1961 George Best made the move across the sea to Manchester and he would go on to be a cornerstone of Sir Matt Busby’s historic European Cup winning side and a part of United’s much vaunted trio of attacking players – Sir Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best, popularly known as “The Holy Trinity”. However, everything could have gone horribly wrong, as on moving to Manchester an increasingly homesick Best decided to return to Northern Ireland. Sir Matt had to use all his powers of persuasion (something us younger folks have seen Sir Alex Ferguson do time and time again) to convince young Best that playing for Manchester United lay in his best interests. Both George Best and Manchester United were to never look back.
