I like to read books and I am enjoying the 6 books challenge,but I chose simple books because i learn evrey thing about that.When I was young, I played football.This was my first book in this challenge which was a biography.

Some people probably have a favourite football player.For some it was Pele, Maradona or now it may be Gazza, but one player stands out above them all.He was born on May 1946 and grew up outside Belfast.He was a small and skinny boy.One day, a scout for Manchester United came to watch a youth match and he was playing.He sent a message to the manager of Manchester United and said; I think, i have found a genius.In 1965, he had his first full season with the club, and United won the league title.Next year they got to the semi-final of the European Cup.They were the first English side to win the European Cup.

He went out with Miss world,and he got 10,000 fan letters a week.In 1978, he married a model and he had a baby son,but the marriage didn't last, because he couldnt stop drinking.Many people still talk about the wastes of such a wonderful talent.He was George Best and he is still the best.

I like the personality of George Best but I think finally he lost every fame he gained.
