Remembering Best…

NORTHERN Ireland has been trying to figure out how best to remember east Belfast footballing legend George Best. Some suggestions I’ve read so far have included renaming the City Airport after him, naming the forthcoming Maze stadium after him, erecting a statue at Belfast City Hall (though Old Trafford has also been mentioned), a George Best youth football school or scholarship, a tribute game (an all-Ireland team vs Man Utd has been mentioned!), an exhibition centre, a street or road named after him… the list goes on. What do you think? The Tele wants to know too, and is hosting an online poll here, while the News Letter’s poll on the airport renaming is here.
