Simply the Best, 30 years after his glory days with Manchester United, George Best remains a legend that nothing can tarnish. Indifferent seasons with lesser clubs, publically disastrous liaisons, and a battle with drink have done nothing to erase the memories of this charismatic footballer. This biography tells the story of his troubled relationship with his family in Belfast, his near-adoption by Matt Busby, his tensions with Bobby Charlton, his wives and lovers, and the serious personal failures, both on and off the pitch.
