GEORGE BEST VS BENFICA - EUROPEAN CUP FINAL 1968

When looking back at George Best's career, it's impossible not to wonder what might have been had he not been consumed by alcoholism. Yet for many neutrals, at his Best, he was the best. He became a superstar with his one-man demolition of Benfica in 1966 but his crowning moment arrived against the same side two years later, when he inspired Manchester United to a first-ever European Cup triumph.

With the game tied at 1-1 in extra-time, Best embarked upon a mazy run that ended with him rounding the goalkeeper before tapping into an empty net (after initially considering heading the ball in on the goal-line!). United ultimately romped to victory and Best was subsequently named the European Footballer of the Year.
