Summary

'Remember me for the football' was George Best's last wish before his untimely death, aged just 59. 'True Genius' is the definitive family-backed account of his remarkable career published to coincide with the 20 year anniversary of his death in 2005. Written by celebrated Manchester United author Wayne Barton, this biography goes into unparalleled depth to tell the complete story for the first time of how the lad from Cregagh, Northern Ireland, became the game's first superstar. Barton has spent years trawling the archives and spoken to a host of former team-mates, managers, friends and close family to tell his story, going behind the scenes and researching matches and official records in microscopic detail.
