George Best's double hat-trick: Watch all six goals
On 7 February 1970, footballing legend George Best returned from a month-long ban to score six goals in one game.
The striker wanted to prove the critics wrong who said Manchester United had been playing better without him.
Northampton Town's Ray Fairfax was tasked with marking the Ballon d'Or winner in their FA Cup game.
“It seemed as though he was destined for everything that had gone before to say: ‘I'm here, this is what I can do.’,” says Ray.
