Unlike Frank Edwards, whose letter was entitled "Best was a legend not a hero" (December 1), George Best was my footballing hero. There was genius at work when a ball was at his feet.
Along with other fallible human beings, he inspired many to aspire to greatness in the art of football - a failed aspiration in my case but not a failed inspiration.
Cheers, George.
