George Best needs no introduction. A legend who experienced glory in his lifetime, he is undoubtedly the greatest footballer the United Kingdom has ever produced. Blessed with an exceptional talent, he brought a beauty and grace to the game that had not been seen before. However, Best could not cope with the success and fame his football genius earned him. His famed story is full of tales of women, sex, and, of course, alcohol. Much has been written about Best, but little had been confirmed by him. Until George Best opened his heart and presented us with one of the most gripping life stories of recent years, "Blessed". In his own words, George recounts the golden days at Manchester United, the big matches, and the conquest of the European Cup in '68. And then, the tragic truth about his mother’s death and his battles with alcohol, which forced him to face a life without drink. "Blessed" reveals the man behind the icon of revelry, booze, and women that haunted George Best for so long. Open and honest about his mistakes, George is also incredibly candid about his victories, his sorrows and, just three years before his death, his hopes for the future.
