A moving piece of work.

I read some of the offered comments below the clip and find myself thinking that our society would rather condemn individuals for their weaknesses than praise them for their strengths.

I guess it makes us feel better about ourselves:

Redback,

Made my night. He had the ability to make very good players look stupid, handle the dirty tackles thrown at him, dance his way through traffic and crowded penalty boxes, create something out of nothing...and a Belfast boy.

To quote Pele "He was the Best ever."

Made my night Ditto, thanks for that, I played soccer in my younger days but Best was a bit before my time ie cant remember but heard of him later in life. Great footage will have to show my 7 yr old who is into his second year of the game :D

Regards
