I think the best quote is from another legend, The Lawman:
"From 1964 to 1969 he was the best player in the country. It's sad as hell, but I don't think we saw the best of him. I think he went on the blink at a time when he could have got even better. You hit your peak as a player around 28 and he was gone by then. Even so, I'd put him on a par with the top six I ever saw. I wouldn't like to choose between George, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Maradona, Pele and John Charles. Bestie definitely belongs among that elite.
If I'd known then what I know now I'd have given him a right smack, but at the time we all had enough on our own plates without trying to solve his problems." Denis Law
