George BestA T R I B U T E T O
Regarded around the world as one of the greatest and
most talented players in the history of football, George
Best was known for his unique gift and outstanding ability
with the ball. Over his career he played as a winger for
Manchester United and the Northern Ireland national team
and was described as “the greatest player to ever pull on
the green shirt of Northern Ireland.” Born on 22nd May
1946 and raised in East Belfast, Best had an exceptional
footballing talent and unwavering passion for the game
from a young age. When he was just 15, he was spotted by
a Manchester United Scout who praised his unique style,
sending a telegram to manager Matt Busby which simply
said, “I think I’ve found you a genius.” He was quickly signed
to United by chief scout Joe Armstrong in 1961 and made
his debut for the club aged 17, after turning professional in
1963. During his time at Manchester United, Best became
the club’s top goal scorer in the league for five consecutive
seasons, scoring 179 goals from 470 appearances over 11
years. In 1968, he won the European Cup with Manchester
United, and was named the European Footballer of the Year
and FWA Footballer of the Year. After the United years,
Best played for Fulham alongside Bobby Moore, Hibernian
and finally Bournemouth until 1984 when he retired aged
37. Known as one of the greatest dribblers of all time, his
career is defined by his amazing speed, balance, vision, and
uncontainable zest for the game that has motivated many
footballers over the years. An inspiration to many, this hotel
will celebrate George Best as the man everyone loved. A truly unique accommodationexperience that will appeal to football fans both nationally and internationally
George Best’s playing style was one of a kind, it combined pace, skill, balance, feints, two-footedness, goal scoring
and the ability to beat defenders. He was undoubtedly the best of his generation. Not just an outstanding
player, but also a vibrant personality, Best became one of the first ‘famous’ footballers the world had ever
seen. Earning the nickname ‘El Beatle’ due to his Fab Four inspired haircut, Best grew in popularity on and
off the pitch. He received more than 1,000 fan mail letters every week and was regularly offered modelling
assignments and personal appearances. A fitting tribute to the legend and legacy of George Best, this
stunning hotel will create a truly unique accommodation experience that will appeal to football fans
both nationally and internationally.This beautiful accolade to the footballing legend will be themed
around his amazing life and house an exclusive museum, dedicated to the life and times of one of
the greats. This unique museum and hotel will exhibit never seen before memorabilia, souvenirs
and personal mementoes that will allow football fans to explore the world of George Best.
