On February 7, 1970, George Best scored six goals in Manchester United’s 8-2 FA Cup fifth-round win over Northampton Town. Returning from suspension, Best dominated with headers, precise finishes, and a memorable feint past the goalkeeper. Despite Northampton’s efforts, United’s brilliance shone on a muddy pitch. Brian Kidd added two goals, while Best’s performance earned him a visit to 10 Downing Street. The match remains an iconic FA Cup moment.
