It looks more like my chainsaw obsessed neighbour from three doors down than George Best.

Can chainsaws cut through metal?

If so, can you borrow one off him for me?

Fair play to Bohs.
 
 
George Best in Dalymount: Football As Never Before (Fußball wie noch nie)
- Film Screening
- Thursday July 4th 2019, Dalymount Park
- Doors/bars 7pm. Screening 9.30pm.
 
This is a unique opportunity to see the island’s greatest-ever player return to Dalyer. He most memorably took to the field in Dublin 7 at the peak of his powers as a reigning European champion for a benefit game in 1968 and famously also took on Waterford that same year in the European Cup when Matt Busby’s Manchester United came to Lansdowne Road.

He later played in further games at Dalymount Park for United in friendlies in the early 1970s and also lined out against Bohs for Cork Celtic at Turner’s Cross in 1976.

Thanks for that reminder. I'd seen it before, but it still stands the test of time as a "warts and all" profile of a very complex character.

On the playing side, I especially enjoyed the short clip from the time Best basically beat Scotland on his own in 1967, in a team even included a couple of IL players, against a Scottish team based round the great Celtic team which won the European Cup that year:



A great day for "Ireland" and the "Irish"! Wink
