A fresh-faced, football legend-in-the-waiting is interviewed for the first time and is filmed training with the Northern Ireland team ahead of their friendly game against Uruguay in April 1964.
"Tell me about yourself," says Syd Maguire, in a charming television report that introduced the audience at home to George Best. The interview took place less than a year after Best had made his first-team debut at Manchester United, on September 14, 1963, with his Northern Ireland debut following in April 1964, just weeks before this footage. Best reminisces about his first trial at United and how homesickness almost scuppered his footballing dream.
