Good documentary on BBC catch up George Best: All By Himself.
Slight bit of Hibs content. Signing his 2 grand a game contract , in action against St Mirren.
Bought a picture of him from Gilzeans shop and got the great man to sign it in Jingling Geordies opposite. Don't know what happened to it, probably worth a few quid now.

There's a copy of the contract he signed on show at Hampden museum. Fee £50000 and Fulham had a sell on clause of 70% of any future fee over £50000!

Got an original press photo of the signing somewhere. Will have a check and upload it later if I can find it.

About time that look was back in vogue.

To be fair, I think Eddie Turnbull was holding him up whilst the other guy was in charge of the pen! Originally Posted by Hibby70

Really good documentary, enjoyed watching it.
Didn't know Bill McMurdo was George's agent at one point. He still looks like a Hun loving slimy weasel scruff.
