Watch out for replays of the excellent feature documentary "George Best: All By Himself" on ESPN in the "30 for 30 Film series"

This screened at cinemas and film festivals in the UK and Europe earlier this year and is brand new. Has been on ESPN a few times the last few weeks.

Some good interviews with Best, his former wives and girlfriends, friends, team mates and match footage.

Sad to see the decline from the 1970's interviews of a fit and happy Best in the USA enjoying the California beach lifestyle to the later years back on the booze in the UK.

As a side note, one of Best's last club matches was as a guest for Reading against the All Whites on their UK tour in 1984. 

He'd previously played against the All Whites 17 years before for the great Man United side at English Park in Christchurch in 1967.
