| book description |

'Remember me for the football' was George Best's last wish before his untimely death, aged just 59. 'True Genius' is the definitive family-backed account of his remarkable career, now to be released in paperback, 20 years on from George Best's death. Written by celebrated Manchester United author Wayne Barton, this biography goes into unparalleled depth to tell the complete story for the first time of how the lad from Cregagh, Northern Ireland, became the game's first superstar. Barton has spent years trawling the archives and spoken to a host of former team-mates, managers, friends and close family to tell his story, going behind the scenes and researching matches and official records in microscopic detail. While there have been many books on George Best, this is the only biography that captures the football story so exhaustively, unearthing revealing material that will shed new light on one of the game's most naturally gifted players. Supplemented with rare and unseen images painstakingly researched and restored from the Daily Mirror, this is the ultimate portrait of a true football genius. True Genius was adapted into a documentary by BT Sport, to coincide with the hardback release in 2021.
