Product Information
The definitive autobiography of football's greatest living legend, in paperback 'Fascinating.. .honest to the point of self-laceration... Best will always remain a breath-taking example of supreme talent and courage' Independent'Brilliantly raw' Sunday TimesGeorge Best needs little introduction. A legend in his own lifetime, he is undoubtedly the greatest footballer the UK has ever produced. Blessed with an extraordinary gift he brought a beauty and grace to the game never before seen.But Best was unable to cope with the success and fame his genius brought. His fabled story is littered with tales of women and sex and, of course, alcohol. Much has been written about Best, but very little substantiated by the man himself. Until now.At last George Best is ready to open his heart and engage us in one of the most exhilarating life stories for years. In his own words George recounts the halcyon days at Manchester United, the big games and European Cup win of '68. And then there's the heartbreaking truth about the death of his mother and his struggles with alcohol that have forced him to face up to a life without drink for good.BLESSED reveals the man behind the up-for-a-laugh, boozy, womanizing stereotype that has dogged George Best for years. George speaks openly and honestly about tlle mistakes he has made over the years and is incredibly candid both about his triumphs, but also about the regrets he has and his hopes for his future.'Don't coach him, he's a genius' SIr Matt Busby'Unquestionably the gretest' Sir Alex FergusonProduct Identifiers

Excellent
I'm enjoying the book so far. One of the world's best footballers ever and reading true facts about him and the pain and struggle of his success that caused him to battle against alcoholism. And in the end that would end his life. But despite all his problems he and his family had to face he will still be remembered as the greatest footballer that ever was. A remarkable person who will be never forget.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
