As of today, Northern Ireland’s Ulster Bank is now accepting orders for a limited edition £5 (US$8) note featuring legendary football (soccer) star George Best. The bank plans to issue one million commemorative notes to coincide with the first anniversary of the death of the celebrated Northern Irishman and Manchester United star at age 59 due to multiple organ failure following decades of alcohol abuse.
Today the first note — with the serial number 0000001 — was presented to the soccer legend’s sister, Barbara McNarry, and the last — numbered 1,000,000 — was given to his father, Dickie Best. An unknown quantity of other notes (more than 12, less than 100) with serial numbers significant to George’s career have been given to the George Best Foundation for auction.
Application forms are now available from Ulster Bank branches in Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland or online from this web site. The commemorative notes will be available for purchase at any Ulster Bank branch in Northern Ireland starting November 27.
