George Best needs little introduction. A legend in his own
lifetime, he is undoubtedly the greatest footballer the UK has ever
produced. At his peak he brought glamour and grace to the game,
second only in the world to Pele. But with success and fame came
excess and foolhardiness, and Best's fabled story is littered with
tales of his involvement with women and sex and, of course, the
drink. Now he is ready to open his heart and engage his readers in
the story of his life. This is the frank and honest account of a
man who has hit rock bottom on many occasions and who is now
prepared to look back and assess his rollercoaster life. In his own
words, he recounts the halcyon days at Manchester United, the big
games, and European Cup win of 1968. His views on the state of the
game then and now, and the key players and managers at Manchester
United, are included. And he also tells of the heatbreak at his
mother's death, of battles with his ex-wife Angie, and the string
of affairs and scandals that have followed him from the bars to the
bankruptcy courts, and even to prison. George has kept extensive
diaries whilst in rehab, which are shown here.
