But there is the sadness of knowing how things turn out.

Many of his supposed friends and teammates have said that they could not go and see him when he was in his darkest hour. That's when he needed them the most yet there was nobody.

His father lived till he was 89.

Wiki :

George Best was the first child of Richard "Dickie" Best (1919–2008) and Anne Best (née Withers; 1922–1978).

He was born on 22 May 1946 and grew up in Cregagh, east Belfast. Best was brought up in the Free Presbyterian faith.[15]

His father was a member of the Orange Order and as a boy George carried the strings of the banner in his local Cregagh lodge.

In his autobiography, Best mentioned how important the order was to his family
