Books by George Best

Blessed with an extraordinary gift, George Best brought a beauty and grace to football. Christened the Fifth Beatle at his peak, Best was the first pop star footballer and had teenage girls flocking to Old Trafford decades before David Beckham. He remains one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. Unable to cope with the success and fame that his talent brought him, Best fell into alcholism and his life has been littered with tales of women, sex and drink. Over recent years he has overcome his addiction, aided by the love and support of his wife, Alex. Best was front page news again in July 2002, when he underwent a liver transplant.
