Like any death it's a huge loss to those who were close to her. In the grand scheme of things how big a loss it might be could be measured by what impact a person you have never met has had on your life. When George Best died a part of me did too. He was my one and only ever hero. I grew up. When I grew up I was once in a restaurant in Mayfair. Our table was near the exit and who do you think left with a beautiful woman while we were eating.......Georgie. I could have spoken to him, maybe shook his hand, got an autograph. I didn't do anything. That was then and this was now. He will always be my favourite footballer of all time. However, what he meant to me was more based on what I felt at certain times in my life than anything Georgie did for me.
