Best of George Best

I used to go missing a lot - Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss Germany

I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep

In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol; it was the worst 20 minutes of my life

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered

I never went out in the morning with the intention of getting drunk. It just happened

A reporter called Sue Mott while taking Best's phone number said: "God, do you realise half the women in the world would pay good money to get that number" Best: "Half the women in the world have got it"

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number. He asked me: 'What's an IQ? (on Paul Gascoigne)

He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right. (on David Beckham)
