2 comments so far (post your own)Legendary winger George Best signed for Hibs on 22/11/1979.
Although not quite the same player as thrilled crowds in the Football League 8 or 9 years previously with Man Utd he was still a very good player and was certainly box office in his brief stay.
Sadly could not prevent Hibs being relegated that season.
