George Best: The Legend - In Pictures

George Best had everything: supreme skill; boundless energy; the ability to make and score goals; radar-like awareness of the game as a whole. But in an era when pitches were often like ploughed fields he had grace and balance which seemed to allow him to skim across the mud and float through the mire.

George Best was also one of the bravest players to step onto a football pitch, taking chances that other players would never attempt. All this made one him of a kind and when Pele described him as the greatest footballer in the world, the Belfast Boy became a true legend.

Ivan Martin looks at the story of one of the famous football stars in the world. Crammed with pictures and extended captions George Best: The Legend - In Pictures captures one of the first superstar icons in football history.
