How I Met George Best

George, the dazzling dribbler, now departed on a free transfer is playing with the Angels, God’s team, attracting adoring crowds at the pearly stadium. One day I’m going to watch him and get my pen back.
On a beautiful Sunday moons ago, post his playing days, he came to a charity cricket match on the Common along with other sporting giants.
He batted in The Archbishop’s XI making a handy 18 runs but was bowled out confused by a Yorker immediately after a very good lunch. With time to spare he generously agreed to sign autographs so I stepped in.
