No 16 for the year.....

I picked this up in a charity shop over in Clitheroe yesterday costing me £1.49.

Hardbacked first edition from 2010 titled "George Best and Me" Waggy's tale" signed by Co Author Tom Page, He wrote the book with Malcolm Wagner, The dedication reads "For my good friend Brian( The one I don't supply Duck Eggs to.) Best Wishes Tom Page 2012.

Manchester in the late 1960s and early 1970s revolved around the exploits of one man - George Best. At his side throughout this exciting period was his best friend and confidante Malcolm Wagner (or Waggy as he is universally known). Now for the first time Waggy sets the record straight on George’s exploits during a period when he was the most recognisable face in the world.
George Best’s playboy lifestyle was tabloid fodder for years but what was the true nature of Bestie? Why did he go AWOL so often during his career at Manchester United and what drove him to destroy a football career that reached a pinnacle in 1968 when he was named the best player in the world?
Waggy is in the best position to know because he was there throughout this exciting period and saw another side to George - the shy lad from Belfast who had talent and looks that turned him into a sensation both on and off the pitch.
Waggy reveals the full story behind George’s sensational retirement at the age of 26, when the pair fled to Majorca, describes how they evaded the Mafia by holing up on a Hollywood producer’s ranch and opened Slack Alice nightclub when their favourite discotheque closed down.
At its centre ‘George Best and Me’ is the tale of two lads with the world at their feet in an era when anything seemed possible.

Another good find, Alex.

 

I searched in a load of charity shops on Friday and didn't find one signed book. I think they're all sent north. Smiley Happy
