OOPS, Wrong Brit

Yesterday, the combined paper (Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post) ran an AP story about the sad death of Manchester United star of the '60s and '70s GEORGE Best, who couldn't stop drinking even after he received a second liver. The story got all the details of his life right but the headline, 'Fifth Beatle' Best dies after alcoholism battle, is a laugher. The fifth Beatle is PETE Best, ya' simpleton.

I watched George Best play soccer here in America in the '70s when he was well past his prime. Nothing about his play here comes back in memory. On the other hand, I still remember seeing Pele get into and win a fight at RFK Stadium in Washington one night in 1978.
