About this product
Product Information
November 2006 marks the first anniversary of the death of George Best, the most magical footballer of his generation, and the most notorious and sad example of a great talent gone to waste. Now Aurum's peerless sports list combines with its extremely successful collaboration with the Guardian that began with A Lifetime of Mountains to produce a unique chronicle of Best's life. His whole career is told through the newspaper reports and features on him that appeared in the Guardian and the Manchester Evening News from his first appearances for Manchester Utd as a teenage starlet through the glory days of the 6-0 trouncing of Northampton and the European Cup win in 1968 to the long obituary assessing his sad later decline. These compassionate, insightful pieces are written by numerous famous - and unexpected - names, from Hugh McIllvanney to John Arlott. They reflect Best's sad destiny to become more famous for his indiscretions (his drinking, his affairs, his absences-without-leave) than his football. They also trace his transformation from the willowy Belfast boy who become a Manchester man through and through to the rotund and peripatetic football gipsy who drifted from Fulham to the US to Hibernian and even Dunstable Town, and eventually into the sad alcoholic bar habitue in Chelsea. It is a unique chronicle of a life lived, and as a result eventually blighted, in the public eve.

Book arrived safely and I couldn't wait to start reading it. I have only had it for 2 days and I am more than half way through it. It is another one of Clive Cussler's books that I find hard to put down.
