Bryan who played alongside Best for Northern Ireland and played against him while Best was at Manchester United and Bryan at Town and he says it was a privilege to play on the same pitch as him.

 

Bryan: “We all expected this news but it doesn't make it an easier to take in.

 

“For me it was a privilege to play alongside him for our country and against him when we met in League football. It was a privilege to be on the same pitch as him.

 

“For a while he was the best player in the world, the complete footballer who provided so many fantastic memories for so many people.

 

“It's a very sad day for everyone who knew George and for football in general.”
