Unforgettable moments in football history are often defined by the players who made them. This iconic photograph, taken from The Northcliffe Collection, captures one such moment as George Best leaves Arsenal's Eddie Kelly and Frank McClintock in his wake during a thrilling match at Highbury in 1970. Pat Rice can be seen watching on from the far left of the frame, powerless to stop the Manchester United winger's dazzling display.
Best's pace and skill were always a handful for even the best defenders, and this image perfectly encapsulates his ability to leave opponents grasping at air. As he speeds past Kelly and McClintock with ease, it's clear that he is unstoppable on this day.
