Sad news, always came across very humble and down to earth despite his son's fame and wealth.

R.I.P Dickie Best.

I read the George Best bio that I got from my secret santa this year, and he sounds like a top man.

I've just finished that book (Sunday on the way up to O.T.) and Dickie had a lot to put up with. Very dignified man.

God bless you Dickie, you just didn't recover from losing Georgie. I hope you are both reunited.

RIP
