Plot

Pulling no punches in its depiction of soccer legend George Best's slow descent from the heights of his Manchester United career, the man once dubbed the fifth Beatle for his glamorous lifestyle and good looks died in November 2005 at the age of 59 - his cause of death was a kidney infection, a side-effect of the immuno-suppressant drugs he was required to take after a liver transplant. The film won a number of international festival awards.
