This footballing biopic charts the rise and fall of one of the game's most-feted players: Manchester United's talismanic midfielder
George Best. Joining the club in the wake of the Munich air disaster, Best (
John Lynch) was instrumental in the reconstruction of the team in the late Sixties, helping them to the League Championship at the age of 17 and the European Cup at 21. However, his on-field exploits were often overshadowed by his flamboyant behavior off the pitch, which included a stormy relationship with his wife Angie (
Patsy Kensit).
