George Best won the Ballon d'Or in 1968, having received more votes than Bobby Charlton, Dragan Džajić and Franz Beckenbauer. Meaning he had won the three major honours in club football at the age of just 22 (the league title, European Cup, and European Player of the Year award). United wore blue in the 1968 European Cup final vs Benfica, making George the BEST player to ever pull on a blue shirt!
