There's a lot of ground to cover in Best's short life - from his
electrifying debu with Manchester United at the tender age of 17,
through the glory years that United won the 1968 European Cup, his
adventures in the North American Soccer League, not to mention his time
spent romancing the world's most beautiful, intoxicating women. But
Gordon tells Best's story with a skill worthy of the man himself. The
film draws you into the drama that surrounded Best and makes you
understand just why an estimated quarter of a million people lined the
route of his funeral cortege to mourn his tragic passing.

It was an honour
and a privilege to have seen George Best play football for Manchester United on
many occasions. He really was a genius; a most talented man who should always be
remembered for the skills he possessed and shared with us all.
His lifestyle
over recent years followed by illness that eventually took him away from us is
tragic and sad. But I believe Georgie will be remembered as the greatest
footballer of all time. This is what he hoped and this is what many of us would like to
see.
Here is one way to make memories:
