EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary George Best in action during the Paul Aimson Bury FC testimonial match. The game, held at Gigg Lane in Lancashire on November 18th, 1975, pitted The All Stars XI against Bury FC. Despite Best's presence and notable names alongside him, it was Bury FC who emerged victorious with a thrilling 3-2 win. At that time, George Best was making his comeback and had squeezed this match into his busy schedule between games for his new club Stockport County. This exhibition match served as a platform to raise funds for Paul Aimson, who sadly had to retire from football due to a severe knee injury suffered in 1974. Paul Aimson himself had an impressive stint with Bury FC during the 1966 and 1967 seasons, scoring eleven goals in thirty-one appearances. This testimonial match not only celebrated his contributions but also showcased the immense talent of players like George Best. The photograph is a nostalgic glimpse into football history from the 1970s - an era when soccer was played with passion and skill. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of both George Best and Paul Aimson within British football culture.
