I was at this match, with my dad, on those benches the Victoria Ground had on the corner of the Stoke End and the Butler Street stand.
Tensions running high on that corner, scary for a little kid like me.
George Best in blue, very strange!

I still remember that second goal,3 Stoke players sprawled in the penalty area while Best nonchalantly stroked the ball home. I used to hate and admire him at the same time. The best player I've seen live. |

George really was exceptional
I was probably there. Every time the ball went to him 30,000+ people took a collective intake of air!

Great times & some wonderful players who played on pitches like paddy fields. No rolling about on the floor like todays fannies if you got tackled a little bit to hard.
Football was much better to watch in those days & Stoke were a top side with some quality players.

The best player I've seen live. Totally my feelings. George Best was the only non Stoke player I ever wanted to be. The 5th Beatle, so cool! |

From an era when football was the working mans ballet, George was as his surname suggested...one of the best (and even the album cover proves it!)  |
