I still can't believe israbeckham thought Busby Babes was a player's name.

Did he ever figure out if United is traded on the stock market?

One of the things that really blows my mind is George Best's ability to ride challenges. Some of the things opposing defenders would do to try and stop him would be instant red cards, and even 3-6 match bans these days! One clip that sticks out in my mind has George running towards the 18 - I believe it was against Chelsea. At the 18, the last defender just scythes into him! You see George's legs sharply jerk and then he's off still running, and scores. It's incredible the kind of tackles that people would just throw in on class attacking players then.

Off course, I am turning a blind eye to old Nobby Stiles and Eusebio at Wembley

I think you mean the one at 3.48 into this video...

Best was amazing.

That was "Chopper" Harris of Chelsea. Best barely broke stride.

Alan Smith?

I just recently read my first book about the club and one player caught my eye: Tommy Taylor. I haven't been able to find anything about him here, but he seems like a good attacker with 131 goals in 191 games (the best goals/game ratio in the clubs history) - and some pretty important ones among them.

Anybody know what kind of player he was?
