Sunday May 22nd 1946 George Best was born to parents Dickie and Anne Best in Belfast , Northern Ireland. Sunday May 22nd at 00hrs 11mins 07 secs this website became live with the aim of promoting the legacy of George Best and the Foundation established in his name.

Most fans will not realise that our hero was actually called Ronald Samuel Best and George did not even appear on his birth certificate).. His playing career needs no introduction and has left a legacy to compare and debate the footballing skills of "Who is/was the greatest footballer in the world ?". For diehard fanatics who saw George at his Best there is only one answer, for others there was Pele , or Maradonna, and so many more.      

Following his death on 25th November 2005 and his funeral on 3rd December 2005, George's sister Barbara and her husband Norman were completely overwhelmed by the unprecedented amount of support which was displayed by the fans to George and ultimately his family. They quickly decided that George's death would not be in vain and on 26th April 2006 the George Best Foundation was born.
