I wonder who this is. Should be interesting to find out. Others have speculated that it is David Arvizu that Garber is talking about. (We had the link on him the other day executing a spectacular bicycle kick. You will have to search for that one.)

whoa...thanks for posting the georgie best tribute bruce...it's the business for real!!! what a player....i've been wanting to see footage of the man i've heard so much about and now i have...cheers!
Some players just have that way about them where they seem to waltz down the field with the ball attached to their foot. These are very rare players that only come along seemingly once in a generation.
Best was such a player.
