This George Best book opens with Best’s debut for Manchester United as a seventeen year old against West Bromwich Albion on the 15th September 1963. In the newspaper report of his first match, he was said to have ‘showed encouraging flashes of quality’ and had a ‘hand in United’s winner’. From this promising start he developed into a footballing legend, delighting fans with his exquisite skills.

I can’t remember seeing one much better’. On the pitch he was a genius, recognised by his award of European Footballer of the Year in 1969.

Off the pitch, Best had a colourful and turbulent life. These George Best Books cover the ups and downs of his personal life – the girls, the drink and the rifts with his clubs. We also cover newspapers reports of some of his comebacks, including those at Fulham and Hibernian.
