Factual drama about how the glamour-studded career of Britain's most famous footballer not only took its toll on George Best himself but also on the close-knit family that he left behind in Belfast.
Best: His Mother's Son tells the remarkable but little known story of Best's relationship with his alcoholic mother. It's a poignant tale that foreshadows the very public transformation of one of Britain's most glamorous stars into one of its most notorious alcoholics.
The 90-minute film concentrates on the period between 1966 and 1973 when Manchester United went from champions to relegation to the Second Division, George Best went from superstardom to retirement aged just 27, and his mother went from tee-totaller to tragic alcoholic.
