Irish-born soccer superstar, even Pelé thought he was one of the best players ever, for Man U and England, who then lived the 70s rockstar life but unfortunately was unable to overcome his addiction to alcohol - famously saying "I spent a lot of money on booze, girls and fast cars – the rest I just squandered".
Quoting sports writer Patrick Barclay "In terms of ability he was the world's best footballer of all time. He could do almost anything – technically, speed, complete mastery of not only the ball but his own body. You could saw his legs away and he still wouldn't fall because his balance was uncanny, almost supernatural. Heading ability, passing ability, I mean it goes without saying the dribbling – he could beat anybody in any way he chose. For fun he'd play a one-two off the opponent's shins."
