Georgie best passed away in November of 2005, right around the time our team was snatched away from us.

I think it would be fitting to pay tribute to this Earthquakes legend, and legend of the game, on opening night of the San Jose Earthquakes 2008 home season.

awesome falvo, and that in a nutshell is why i have been a football fanatic all my life. Georgie was my introduction to the game back in 60's with United and i couldn't have had a better one.

In today's Mercury News Sports section on page 1 there are two pictures of George Best playing for the San Jose Earthquakes. In one photo he gets a hug from Peter Lecherman in a 5-1 Quakes win at Spartan Stadium either around the end of June or early July 1980. The other pic I believe is from 1981. I can't find the article or the pictures on line but I'll try and download them.
