DT Cameos>> George Best

 

George appears in his punditry role on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, first in the 2001-02 season giving his reaction as Claudia Irving, daughter of Harchester chairman Sam, launches her attempt at getting the club's marketing manager role, with a risqué photoshoot of a PR campaign propelled onto the screens of all the Premiership grounds playing that afternoon.

 

Two seasons later, he is with the panel as they discuss Harchester's signing of the illustrious Luke Davenport, a former MUFC player himself returning to the Premier League from Barcelona.

 

In his backstory, George is referred to by 1980's HUFC reserve team manager Al Mackay, when he consoles defender Terry Glover over his demotion from the first team, describing how he tried, and failed, to mark Best when at Leeds, early in George's Manchester United career in 1963.
