The quote was on BBC Radio 4s Quote Unquote yesterday, and it wasn't George Best....but I can't remember who it was.
The quote “I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered” is often attributed to George Best, a former Northern Irish footballer who played as a winger for Manchester United and the Northern Ireland national team 123. However, there are other variations of this quote that have been attributed to different people. For example, a similar quote was attributed to Channing Pollock, an American playwright and drama critic, in a Reader’s Digest article from August 1936 4. It is also attributed to Elmore Leonard, an American novelist and screenwriter, in his book “Get Shorty” 5.
