Bestie: A Portrait Of A Legend, Joe Lovejoy, Sidgwick & Jackson, 1998, Signed First Edition Second Impression Regarded as one of the best players in the history of football, named European Footballer of the Year in 1968 and sixth in the FIFA Player of the Century vote, Best received plaudits for his playing style which combined pace, skill, balance, feints, two-footedness, goalscoring and the ability to get past defenders and became one of the first media celebrity footballers. This insightful biography tells the story of his troubled relationship with his family in Belfast, his near-adoption by Matt Busby, his tensions with Bobby Charlton, his wives and lovers and the serious failures, both off and on the pitch that brought him notoriety.
