The thing with Best, he was a naturally fit young man, wiry. He would have had no problem with today's game. All he would need would be a mentor to help keep him off the alcohol. From 17 to 24 years of age, he would compare favourably with anyone of any age, including today.

Not so many offspring of footballing fathers turn out to be as good as their forbears. I can think of Lampard, Grealish, doubtless there are others but not so many. Managing expectations must be a challenge. I just hope son of Ronaldinho and Casper break the rule

Looking at him when he played for Burnley, Gazza would have struggled to lace his own boots!
Gazza was the worst player I've ever seen at Turf: bar none.

Take away the sentiment and it’s a fair opinion.

Have this argument with my father all the time, he’s also prone to over romanticising the past.
Mine swears by Tom Finney but never seen him play myself.

You can't be that old then.
