Product Description

Product Description
As well as the legions of football fans who watched, awestruck, as he played, he also touched the hearts of everyone with whom he came into contact on a day to day basis: from club managers to the groundsmen at Old Trafford. Bernie Smith is an avid collector of everything to do with the late, great man and Maureen Hunt worked in the newspaper industry for over 20 years. While gathering memorabilia they discovered that almost every keepsake, souvenir or trophy has a humorous, heart-warming or poignant story attached to it. Packed with anecdotes and rare photographs, this delightful book is a wonderful way to commemorate the man who was both a hero and a friend to so many people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best !, 12 Oct 2007
How refreshing to read real stories about real people`s memories of George Best and to have so many pictures spread throughout the book rather than all together in three or four sections.Using people`s memorabilia to retrace the steps of the life of this football genius and well loved personality add a new and real dimension to events in George`s life with which we are familiar and others that we discover through the stories shared.With what appears to be about eighty separate stories I found it really good to read one at random put it down and then look forward to picking it up again and reading another.Each story selects a moment in time in George`s life and as you read more a picture emerges of the quite truly amazing world this footballer genius had to weave his way through on and off the pitch.I always loved forward to watch him play and now feel fortunate to gain an insight into why over 100,000 attended his funeral and why millions all over the world watched it on television.

5.0 out of 5 stars George Best, 13 Feb 2009
By A. Browne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book I purchased was for my aunt who resides in London. Because she grew up in the 60s my aunt watched football and of course Bestie.

She found the book was excellent, very informative and has some nice photos. As this book was so reasonably priced I will not hesitate to purchase off Amazon again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of biography!, 15 Oct 2007
Pleasantly, a different kind of biography that celebrates a life through the stories told by those that have special memories of the superstar, George Best, who never moved away from being a people person. An interesting read for all ages without the need to plough through from cover to cover. Dip-in to any of the 80+ stories written in a natural, 'gossipy' way that makes you feel as if the authors are having a chat with you. Great photographs of some really interesting items that relate to the stories, plus some lovely colour pictures of the man himself. A highly recommended read for anyone - not just the footy fans out there.
