>Hello Nick;

>I heard about his alcohol problem and wish him well. When Best was playing for the Los Angeles Aztec’s, on July 4, 1977, they played the New York Cosmo’s, with Pele and Franz Beckenbauer (captain of the 1974 German World Cup team) on the Cosmos side. Beckenbauer came a bit late and sat on the bench as he had just arrived from Germany, as we sat in the Los Angeles Coliseum. He had not had the opportunity to play with the Cosmos.

>Pele was his normal incredible self. What a team player! What a player! I brought my 35mm camera with 400mm lens. Pele and Best went for the ball, which was about 4-5 feet off the ground. Each player was horizontal and coming from opposing sides, fully stretched. I caught the picture with both men’s feet inches from the ball. I do not remember what happened to the ball. It might have evaporated! :)

>My brother in law Karl, who was German and all his German friends (North Hollywood Soccer Club) were aggravated at the crowd! Pele was everywhere directing his team and doing impossible things that only he could do and the L.A. fans applauded him many times. Karl said, “The United States Soccer fans have to learn you never applaud the opposition”! Well, I guess we just like outstanding talent and give it the recognition it deserves!

>By the way I saw Best score those 3 points in 90 seconds. You would not believe the man! He played for the San Jose Earthquakes at that time.

>>George Best is now having a lot of problems with alcohol abuse. Which is very sad He was truly one of the great footballers.

>>>How many people follow United States Soccer? I was so surprised to learn that the San Jose Earthquakes won the MLS Cup by defeating Chicago 4-2. In years past I have gone to see the Earthquakes but that was when Gerogie Best played for them – three goals in 90 seconds – Georgie we miss you!
>>>
>>>The disturbing thing is that there was no advertising throughout the year to see Earthquake games and no emphasis from any local news service to promote the team, its activities or the fact in was going to play a championship game. The media is so wonderful!
