Synopsis

Possibly the greatest footballer ever produced by the United Kingdom, this DVD traces the career and chequered life of George Best. A dazzling maverick on the pitch, Best was the archetypal playboy footballer away from it, but the twin temptations of alcohol and glamourous women would see him retire in 1972 at the age of just 26. Features interviews with many of the great players to play alongside Best.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the decent ones, 8 Nov 2005
By S. Saunders (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very pleased with this 2001 offering on Bestie. It's definitely superior to "Best Intentions", which pre-dates it by around a decade. What I especially like about this one is that there are plenty of his contemporaries on hand to offer their views (with some 30 years' hindsight): the like of Charlton, Crerand, Summerbee, Sadler and McGuiness. One throwaway comment, too, shows that Crerand and Docherty still haven't patched it up.

My only gripe is the lack of any coverage of Best's days after Man Utd. He did, after all, make it to Fulham and the USA too, where a grateful public were treated to skills light-years ahead of anyone on the pitch, even although the great man was some way past his peak by then.

But it's all the goals and the action which really make this one a cracker. There are plenty, and you don't have to be a Best fan to appreciate it all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blondes, dribbles and Cookstown sausages, 7 Dec 2005
By Gareth Smyth "Enjilos" (Beirut) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
A DVD that does the business. Great clips of Best at his prime - an extra has his 'top 50' goals including the 1968 European Cup final, the chip over Jennings, the evasion of Chopper Harris etc - as well as interviews with Paddy Crerand, Mike Summerbee, Matt Busby, Best's dad and others and old clips of Best with blondes, fast cars and landladies. Also has the man himself - and then wife Alex - and that great advert he did for Cookstown sausages in Ireland. Magic stuff, whether you're a Manchester United fan or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I know why they call him the best!
A wonderful dvd. As a Man Utd fan, I'd heard about George Best but never seen any footage of him playing. All I knew was the world of Giggs, Ronaldo and so on. Read more
