As some have said above, I saw Georgie Best at selhurst in his Foolham days!!
Also Johan Cruyff, England v Holland in 1977

Made in Bromley

I know this is only going to be seen as a semi-serious answer, but I vaguely remember going to Selhurst to watch Wimbledon vs Aston Villa when I was a kid. Vinnie Jones (of Snatch/Lock Stock fame but used to dabble in football when he wasn't performing in top quality movies) came on for Wimbledon and all the Dons fans booed him along with the Villa fans.

I saw George Best when he was at his peak and opposition fans groaned as the ball went to him, he was that good.
Best defender: Bobby Moore, who I also saw jump out of his skin when a teenage girl who had spotted him, screamed as if he were a pop star as he went to his car in the West Ham car park.The car, incidentally, was a very average Cortina or similar-no blacked out windows like certain modern-day players own.
In distant days, I sat near Iain Philip as he travelled to the ground on a 68 bus and also craggy John McCormack with his sons on a bus. How many players would/should risk travelling by bus these days?

I've seen Best, Moore, Banks, the Charlton bros, Hurst, Stiles, Greaves, Osgood, Bonetti, Shilton, Eusebio, Koeman and loads more younger internationals like Beckham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Hoddle Gazza etc at Wembley in Internationals, European Cups and at Stamford Bridge, Anfield and Selhurst Park. I used to go to watch England a lot in the late 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's as well as watching club football.

I'll bet Willo will trump my list though.

I'd do him on cricketers or anyone else probably, any day though.... I used to work with Bill Athey in the close season when he stopped touring with England and he introduced me to 100's of first class cricketers at the county ground in Bristol. Some real class ones like Dennis Lillee, Merv Hughes, David Boon, Courtney Walsh, Alan Lamb....

I can't beat any of those but as Hoof went away from football, i'll have a go.
When i was younger i played Bobby Fischer in an en masse speed game in John Keats house in Hampstead and then went on to watch England vs Australia at Lords in the afternoon.

I refuse to believe there are that many people out there that can't spell. Too f**king lazy, that's what I think.
