Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood--a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer.

And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
