Best was best in what?? Footballer, Womaniser or Drinker

Waste of the Best
absolutely true koushik..but i will reserve my judgement od the footballing part (as i havent had the fortune to see him play, even on TV)..when it comes to the english media, they are so bloody biased its not funny. beckham, rooney, gazza, owen owe 75% to media hype rather than their footballing skills.
I just saw pic of Kambli.. And that reminded me George Best epitomises the difference between a Vinod Kambli and a Sachin Tendulkar.
But one thing I dont agree the comparison b/w Gazza and Beckham. I think Gazza was a more complete footballer than our Gay icon. No doubt he curls those freekick royal well but I dont think he is half as good a footballer as Gazza. Infact Gazza is one of the better footballers England have aspired to produce. He could have been there Flintoff of football...
Am I sounding pedagogic.. Well just saw an job ad from Google looking without people who has a knowledge of Pedagogic Grammar... I dont have knowledge but I am applying Google..
