Chris Lewis Presents Britain’s Jailed Sportsmen
George Best
George Best, arguably the first superstar in the British game, won the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968.
In 1984, he was convicted of drink-driving and assaulting a policeman, and was jailed for 12 weeks. An appeal failed, and Best spent Christmas in Pentonville Prison.
