Best Remembered |
George
Best died in November 2005, just six months short of his 60th
birthday. Widely regarded as a footballing genius and one
of the greatest players to have ever graced the game this
rare and insightful programme gives an up close and personal
look at the life and times of Best, both on and off the pitch
as seen through the eyes of the people who knew him best.
Signing for Manchester United at the age of 17 Bests career
went from strength to strength going on to win the Football
League Championship and European Cup as well as winning 37
caps for Ireland. In 1968 Best was also named Footballer of
the Year by the Football Writers Association, the youngest
player to do so at the age of 21 as well as European Footballer
of the Year. Ultimately it was his celebrity lifestyle that
started a steady decline in his career, his extravagant lifestyle
leading to problems with alcoholism and his demise in 2005.
In this definitive and in depth programme George's father
Dickie Best tells his son's story, charting his journey from
sporting hero to alcoholic. Dickie provides a family's unique
perspective on one of the rarest and most precious football
talents ever seen and one of the sport's first true international
celebrities, quoted as saying "I was the one who took
football off the back pages and put it on to page one".
This programme features archive training and match footage
as well as first time and exclusive access to the Best families
home cine footage and photos. It also features personal and
intimate scenes from the actual funeral and extensive interviews
with the Best family including George's Father Dickie and
Sister. Duration: 136 minutes. This dvd was released in November
5th 2007. |

one person is able to tell you the truth about the life of
George Best – and that's George Best. Follow us now
