I had the privelidge of seeing George play back in the 60's. He was one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

George is a Gift player
but he chose his own way of living.......
I was not lucky as you do.
I can only watch him playing in front of TV
(London Weekend Introduced by Brian Moore)
one time I saw him play with Roddy Marsh in Fulham
I though he will sattle down.... But he did'nt

Any way I like his playing style, he is playing entertaining soccer.
