This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it [object Object] . As all those who didn't like to play outside as a child mourn the passing of Mr. Miyagi Pat Morita, we pause to lament the passing of one of soccer's most popular players, George Best, a guy who drank hard, played harder and never met a pair of legs he couldn't scramble up.
Our Brit soccer correspondent parlays his pain this morning:

The Mantle of soccer, if you ask us ...
