“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.”
…more detailLong before social media, yes there was a time before Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc or immediate online news updates then the cinema and TV was the go to place to see the Mexico 1970 Football World Cup Tournament “The World at Their Feet”. With a limited number of matches being shown on terrestrial TV (only 3 channels in the UK) it was down to the cinema to show the edited highlights of what has been dubbed ‘the greatest of all the World Cups’. Released in cinemas shortly after the event (with a subtle backstory involving a young fan) it was shown in vibrant glorious colour and not only featured the historic final which Brazil won 4-1 but also match highlights and player and fan interviews from the whole tournament. If you are football fan and love your international tournaments then this is the greatest sports documentary ever made and you will not find a better example than this. Fantastic graphics and clever design and presented in very good condition this originally folded (as issued) unrestored 1970 British UK quad film poster displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a truly scarce and nostalgic piece of cinematic football memorabilia.
