Items related to George Best: Tribute to a Legend
Was George Best the greatest soccer player ever? Certainly he was the first truly international superstar of the game. With Best’s death at age 59 on November 25, 2005, soccer fans will appreciate even more this complete story and celebration of his life. The riveting narration, with a showcase of 130 photos, covers little-known facts about his youth through his most mesmerizing on-field feats (including two League Championships and one European Cup), as well as the celebrity lifestyle that destroyed his career. Although it’s been decades since Best’s last game, the soccer world will long remember the wunderkind from Belfast.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. George Best was a phenomenon of British sport. Blessed with an exceptional footballing gift, he was the first celebrity footballer and to many he remains the greatest player ever. He set the football world alight as a precocious teenager with Manchester United where he won two League championships in 1965 and 1967, and one European Cup in 1968 - the year he was named European Footballer of the Year - only to walk out of the game at the age of twenty-six having proved that he was the greatest footballer in the world. Much has been written about his personal struggles but this book is a celebration of the playing career of this highly individualistic footballing hero. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR000560417
