George Best was one of the few success stories to come out of Northern Ireland, a footballer (soccer) of immense talent he played for both Northern Ireland and Manchester Untied.
Success came with wealth, weemen and excessive amounts of alcohol, that ended up destroying his life, a career alcoholic he even got a liver transplant and just when we all thought he was a weak quitter he showed us that he never gave up and continued to drink himself to death, what a guy.
To mark the first anniversary of his death the Ulster bank has produced a limited amount of £5.00 notes dedicated to him, they will only cost £5.00 but no doubt will be sold at auction or on E-bay for the unsentimental out there. The bank has made a donation to the George Best Foundation to support the promotion of cross-community contact through participation in football, that means getting Protestant and Catholic kids together and playing football to show them that the other side are just people like them.
