George Best: sui suoi eccessi


"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"

"I used to go missing a lot: Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World"

"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol – it was the worst 20 minutes of my life"

"I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep"

"By the time I was 25 I felt the team was in decline and alcohol was taking over. For three years I was out every night and gambling became a drug, too"

"I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak. Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town"
