George Best Blessed AUTOGRAPHED EDITION
UK Ebury Press 2002 Signed Paperback As New As New Signed by Author
The stunning UK SIGNED original paperback edition of BLESSED by George Best. Very hard to find GENUINE SIGNED edition. AS ISSUED BY THE PUBLISHER. Individually HAND SIGNED by the author GEORGE BEST to title page as shown. Hand signed to the main title page by GEORGE BEST. HE was the first footballing superstar and nearly 30 years after he last played for Manchester United, George Best could still draw a crowd. Several hundred people turned out to meet the man once dubbed the "Fifth Beatle" on his return to Manchester. This book was signed in person in Manchester when George Best appeared to sign copies of his latest book "Scoring at Half Time" at WHSmith in the Arndale Centre. Copies of this title ran out quickly and we were all allowed to get his autobiography signed at the same time. We have two copies of this book available from the same Manchester signing. A truly stunning example presentation. A well presented book with clean tight binding. Unread with good square corners. A very rare book. Signed and unread. Good clean tight binding with no defects. George Best (22 May 1946 - 25 November 2005) was a professional footballer from Belfast, who most notably played for Manchester United and the Northern Ireland national team. He was a winger whose game combined pace, acceleration, balance, two-footedness, goalscoring and the ability to beat defenders. In 1968, his annus mirabilis, he won the European Cup with Manchester United, and was named the European Footballer of the Year. When fit, he was an automatic choice for Northern Ireland, but he was unable to lead them to World Cup qualification, despite being capped 37 times and scoring nine goals. In 1999, he was voted 11th at the IFFHS European Player of the Century election, and 16th in the World Player of the Century election.[2] Pelé named him as one of the 125 best living footballers in his 2004 FIFA 100 list and Best was named 19th, behind Gerd Müller, at the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. In his native Northern Ireland, the admiration for him is summed up by the local saying: "Maradona good; Pelé better; George Best." He was one of the first celebrity footballers, but his extravagant lifestyle led to problems with alcoholism which curtailed his playing career and eventually led to his death in November 2005 at the age of 59. In 2007, GQ named him as one of the 50 most stylish men of the past 50 years. A GREAT ORIGINAL GEORGE BEST AUTOGRAPH. Genuine GEORGE BEST HAND SIGNED BOOKS ARE HARD TO COME ACROSS NOWADAYS. Here is a great hand signed GEORGE BEST BOOK. Buy your GEORGE BEST signed books from the leading GEORGE BEST autograph expert on the internet, RAREANDSIGNED.
