True Genius is the definitive family-backed account of his remarkable career published to coincide with what would have been his 75th birthday. The games, the goals, the glory. This is the untold story.

Written by celebrated Manchester United author Wayne Barton, this biography goes into unparalleled depth to tell the complete story for the first time of how the lad from Cregagh, Northern Ireland, became the game's first superstar. Barton has trawled the archives and spoken to a host of former team-mates, managers, friends and close family to tell his story.

While there have been many audiobooks on George Best, with a foreword by the Best family and supplemented with rare images from the Daily Mirror archives this is the ultimate portrait of a pure football genius. Football (Soccer) Sports Oyun

A wonderful story of natural talent but in the end a tragic story of what could have been.

The story is excellent, especially if you followed George Best through his footballing career. But it was ruined by the narrator’s accent, I appreciate George was Irish, but the pronunciation started to grate

Narrator made listening to this hard work!

No doubt George was a unique footballer but this contribution to the Canon of literature about his career, does him no favours.
He comes across as arrogant, petty and lacking any real team spirit or affiliation.
In seeking to elevate George's claim to be the greatest of all time, the author launches unjustified criticisms of Pele, Cryuff, Maradona, Ronaldo and Messi. In terms of longevity alone, it's a facile argument.
However, without doubt the most irritating aspect of the book is the readers mispronounced football names, some of which are unforgivable. The mistakes are too numerous to list and will surely irritate football fans of the era. Jock Stein, Jules Rimet, Alan Ball (Bell) . Throw in Paddy Roche, Gillingham FC and any number of world class Italians and you begin to get the idea. It adds unintentional comedy.
Overall as an avid reader of football books from the era my recommendation is to give this a miss.
