Letter from George Best's dad found at car boot sale
A LETTER from George Best’s dad was found in a book about his football club bought at a car boot sale.
It reveals Dickie Best’s pride in his son – just three years into the star’s career at Manchester United.
The book, Busby Babes, was given by the lady buyer to Aston Villa fan Alan Goodlad, 53. The four-page, hand-written letter dated March 1966 fell out as he leafed through it at home in Bridlington, East Yorks.
Mr Best wrote to a sports reporter: “George has certainly lived up to our high hopes. Fortune has smiled on the boy and this allied to ability must surely be a winner, provided the person concerned has the common sense which must prevail.
“When my son first became a name I advised him he was just lucky to be talented ... and to work at it.
“I note he expressed the same sentiments ... and I felt secretly very pleased and not a little proud he’d absorbed some of my advice.”
George died at 59 in 2005 and his dad at 88 in 2008.
Alan has given the letter to Man U fan Sarah Evans, 34, to display at her Seabirds pub in Bridlington
