Description

Calum Best should have had it all. As the only son of world-famous footballing legend George Best and his first wife Angie, a gorgeous English model, Calum was born into a world of privilege and opportunity. Reality TV star, Calum Best, has been slammed by 33-year-old Lorna for refusing to take a DNA test in 2009 to prove his paternity as well as displaying reluctance when it comes to meeting his child. Negotiating the narrowest ledge with a drop of thousands of feet, I thought, 'Why am I here? I'm actually going to kill myself'. People have died trying to climb it. The adrenaline rush at the summit was something else, and the experience was amazing, scary and incredibly worthwhile all at the same time."

Best was next to the dugout for the whole of the second half and shouted words of encouragement to Dorking’s players — in his new role as the club’s chairman.

How did Calum Best make his comeback?

However, he said his long-term aim over the next five or six years was to ensure that Dorking Ladies could be competing against top sides like Manchester United ladies, a club he said he supported along with the men’s team. During the interview, he talked about how he still gets goose-bumps from watching videos of his father in action. “Some of the stuff he did was just mind-blowing,” he added. The Eternal Portal. "George Best (The Belfast Boy) Online Memorial Tribute". theeternalportal.com . Retrieved October 22, 2009.

Women’s football is rising fast — the WSL have a deal with Sky Sports. Straight away my forward-thinking head went: ‘I’m going to take Dorking to play my Dad’s old team’,” he tells The Athletic. Calum recounts his life with what seems to be an open and honest voice, not disguising the darkness that took hold of him throughout his twenties nor in anyway explaining away or excusing his previously debauched lifestyle. Throughout this memoir, he takes you on a vivid journey through his life, the highs and lows of being George Best's son, and the situations he found himself in that no young child should find themselves in. The reality of this book will strike a chord with many. There is an unspoken subtext to this story namely a dysfunctional mother son enmeshment.Its very clear his mother has made him the primary focus of her life,she has smothered and engulfed her boy and he comes across as overly reliant on her. This author is a mother fixated (little prince) & father obsessed (lost boy)....a self absorbed adult child. He got to meet us all individually — he wants to understand us. Obviously you hear a name and you wonder how much they’re going to be involved and what they are going to do. He stays after games, speaks to us at half-time and has been really keen. He’s very proactive.As the son of footballer George Best, Calum was a regular on the party circuit and eventually made the transition from socialite to reality TV star.
