Thought provoking podcast on Best currently on Guardians football weekly. A warts and all depiction of the fella featuring the director/writer who made a recent film on Best. In his opinion Best was Bi-polar who self medicated by drink.
 
In one section of the pod, it tells of a story by his wife Angie Best describing seeing a vagrant walking down the middle of the road in Calif in the pissing rain. She said she felt sorry for the fella until she realized it was Best after being on a bender.

Haven't listened to this in ages(Glendinning, LawrenceDead) but might give this ago, special resonance as this is something I do myself, albeit not to Best's extent.

Saw the film myself, and thought it excellent.

But whilst I particularly liked it for its sensitivity and balance, I cannot agree with the bi-polar suggestion.

I once knew someone who despite being genuinely brilliant in his field (Law), was also bi-polar. The mood swings which he underwent were unmistakeable (see Link below).

Whereas people who knew Best all agree that Best the person wasn't that much different from Best the superstar.

The true difference was between Best sober and Best drunk.

Like his mother, he was an alcoholic, pure and simple.

P.S. Best might also have developed Depression, but that's only one aspect of Bipolar disorder.

George Best was a waster both in terms of his career and life.

Go and see the film, then see if your opinion remains unchanged (serious suggestion, btw).

Meanwhile, be thankful if you or anyone near you, never succumbs to alcoholism.
