EVERYONE will have their own memories of George Best, writes GLEN COOPER.
...
Gerry Irving's family met George in 1980 when they went out the USA to see Gerry's brother David.
...
David played in the same Fort Lauderdale Strikers team as Best at that time, alongside the great Gerd Mueller and playing against the likes of Pele in the North American Soccer League.
...
The Irvings didn't see Best at the training sessions they attended - he may have been excused but they think it's more likely he was relaxing on the beach at the time.
...
"When George Best came in I didn't have a clue who he was but I could see from my dad's reaction that it was someone quite special. "We stayed there with them all night and George got me up for a little dance and was really nice to us girls. "He was with Angie at that time but they weren't married yet. When my dad explained who he was I got a bit more excited then and got his autograph which I've kept safe ever since." Since finishing his playing career, David set up soccer academies in the States as well as organising fishing trips for tourists. He is currently head coach at Wilmington Hammerheads in North Carolina. -
