George Best is, somewhat inevitably, destined to be remembered less for his footballing ability than for how he was as a man – the character, the glamour, the myths, the even more fantastic realities and, of course, the struggle with alcoholism. Less well documented is his mother’s drink problem and how the combination of alcohol and fame broke up a loving family. This film, written by Northern Irish dramatist Terry Cafolla, is a fresh take on George’s early years at Manchester United and the flip side of that story – the last 10 years of his mother’s life.
