George Best: Blessed: The Autobiography

George Best was blessed with an extraordinary gift; he brought beauty and grace to soccer never before seen. But he was unable to cope with the success and fame his genius brought and his life story is littered with tales of women, sex and, of course, drink. George Best here tells his own dramatic and inspiring story. Blessed with an extraordinary gift, George Best was undoubtedly the most naturally talented player the British Isles has ever produced and one of the greatest footballing talents the world will ever see. So much has been written about George, but very little was substantiated by the man himself. In Blessed, George finally opened his heart to lay bare his struggles with alcohol and engage us in the most exhilarating autobiography the game has ever had. -- Publisher's description George Best needs little introduction.
