Don't care how much potential he wasted. Great players are committed.

Maybe you shouldn't judge someone's commitment and character when you don't know all the facts.

Just by what I see on the pitch. He could have been the player you seem to think he is, but he's just a foot note.

The only requirement for greatness is performing at a consistently high standard across your career; I can't see how anyone could say that of Best, and certainly not of his time at Ulster. Had he had a different attitude he could have been up there with the Ulster legends MrsP listed.
