Step inside the family home of football superstar George Best, as it would’ve been in the summer of 1961 when fifteen-year-old George left to follow his dreams in Manchester.

You will discover how football became the centre of this working-class boy's world, how Manchester United changed his life and how he went on to change the game of football forever.
