Movie producer wants a real footballer with enough skill to make him more believableA hunt is under way for a young footballer to play United hero George Best in a new film about his life. The makers of the biopic are to scour football academies in a bid to find someone skillful enough to be believable as the Northern Irishman. Best, who played more than 350 times for the Reds, winning the league twice and the European Cup in 1968, is regarded as one of the best players ever to play the game. Producer Stephen Evans is said to want a footballer who can be taught to act, rather than an actor posing as a footballer. The recruitment process is to be similar to one he used when making Seve, a film about Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros. “What we want is a good-looking, spindly, cheeky-chappy” he told the Sunday Times. “The only man who could play Best in adulthood - and match his resolute intensity wit and charisma of George himself. “Any other actor would fall woefully short, above all, during any footballing sequences.” Evans has won a total of 11 Oscars for his work which includes Henry V and The Madness of King George. The film will focus on Best’s move to Manchester from Belfast aged just 15 and his relationship with landlady Mary Fullaway. It also cover his rise to fame and his subsequent battle with alcoholism before his death in 2005 aged 59 with filming expected to get under way this summer. |

A nordie film worth checking out is from the 1980s. Ray McAnally and Stephen Rea are brilliant in it.
The Scout (1987) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338415/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm Turns out Danny Boyle directed it (common name). From what I remember Ray McAnally plays a domestic scout from 'Utd.' maybe (Man. Utd.) who gathers a group of starlets in a rural location to access their skills, discipline and character before deciding whether they even get a trial with the club across the water. Stephen Rea is the disillusioned, returned player that gatecrashes the group ".....RIVELINO!!!" |

The success Garrincha enjoyed on the football pitch was in stark contrast to his personal life. He drank heavily throughout his adult life, and was involved in several serious road accidents, notably a crash into a lorry in April 1969 which killed his mother-in-law. He was married twice, first to Nair Marques in 1952 (they separated in 1965), a factory worker from Pau Grande with whom he had eight daughters, and second to Elza Soares, a samba singer whom he married in an unofficial ceremony in March 1966; as Soares had also married before, the Brazilian press were sour on the marriage. The couple separated in 1977, when Soares left him after he struck her during an argument. Garrincha had other significant affairs, including one with showgirl Angelita Martinez, and he is known to have fathered at least 14 children. No contest indeed..... |
