  BEST: George Best All by Himself

  £125.00

  “He was football’s first rock and roll star – a handsome, charismatic Belfast boy who could thrill and excite the crowds with every turn of the ball. But George Best was also the lead in his own Shakespearean tragedy, a flawed genius, brought down by drink, temptation and depression”

  Due to a very limited cinematic release of this ‘art-house’ independent movie this poster is a truly scarce item of sports memorabilia, an original 2016 UK Quad movie poster for Daniel Gordon’s sports biopic “BEST: George Best All By Himself”. A impressive looking poster, especially if you are a George Best fan. Halfway between a sports documentary and a social statement on the pitfalls of fame and celebrity culture. Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example displays and presents to excellent effect featuring a poignant close up colour photograph of the titular Best in the famous red jersey of Manchester United, the team he made his name with. A fine piece of original memorabilia that will appeal to the sports or movie poster collector for one of the most lauded, famous and recognised sportsmen on the planet….“In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol – it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.”

  Dracula A.D.1972

  £175.00

  “The Time: Now. The Place: Kings Road, Chelsea. The Killer: Count Dracula !“

  Some truly horrific photo montage artwork for “Dracula A.D.1972” makes this Japanese B2 film poster from 1972 (would you believe it ?) one of my personal favourite Hammer posters. It’s more than you can shake stake at with Caroline Munro and Stephanie Beacham certainly putting the glamour into Hammer ! And if that doesn’t appeal totally stealing the action is one of the coolest British cars ever made; the beautiful Triumph Stag and dominating the imagery, a particularly eerie shot of Christopher Lee as the titular Count. In very good condition with only minor handling wear this fantastic folded (as issued) example presents superbly. A lovely example of Hammer Horror memorabilia for one of my personal favourite Dracula films.

  Trivia: “Alucard”, Johnny’s last name, is “Dracula” spelled backward.
