Blessed:
My Autobiography, by George Best (2001)
THIS is Best's deeply moving and personal attempt to ask himself why he sought to destroy the unequalled greatness he had by his descent into alcoholism.
The late, lamented legend candidly describes his shock, embarrassment and humiliation at seeing a recording of himself drunk on Wogan's TV show which went out to millions of viewers, who would ever after see him as a foul-mouthed drunk - rather than the brilliantly talented footballer who won the European Cup with Manchester United.
