Dave beats the Best
Sporting heroes can seem so far away, out of reach like sporting gods. Only in our dreams could we play with such deities. David Jack's had an idol like that, George Best. A Manchester United legend, footballing genius and style icon who was known as the fifth Beatle. Like a lot of kids in Manchester, David was brought up on a diet of football and David's dream was to play with Best. We follow David's story of chance, skill and luck that saw him achieve his dream more than once, just not in the way he imagined.
