This exceptional George Best interview hasn't been posted before, and no infringement intended. George Best was so much more than a football icon. The Irish kid from Belfast made world headlines, not just for his extraordinary football prowess but his off-field exploits, yet at the time of this interview in 1984 Best had been sober for a year. Disarmingly honest and polite (Best's father makes an appearance among others), George opens up on his personal battles with incumbent fame, proving self-aware and humble, a brilliant character and  Irish legend.
