George Best's son Calum has spoken in detail of the moment when his father died in hospital at the age of just 59.
The Manchester United legend struggled with alcoholism in his later life and four years after receiving a liver transplant, the Irishman passed away.
In a new book, which is being serialised by the Daily Mail, Calum detailed the moments that occurred after a consultant told the family that they needed to take the retired football off of life support.
He wrote: "My head drops into my hands, I close my eyes and I let out this huge noise, part scream and part roar of pure emotion. I start sobbing. No tears, just my body juddering. This is the end. This really is the end. All that hope, all that anger, the sadness, the resentment - all that is over. I am so, so, sad.
"I walk to Dad's bed. I don't even notice if anyone else is there. I sit next to him, lean forward and rest my forehead on the bed. I put his hand on the back of my head, and stay there, sobbing."
Best was named European Footballer of the Year and the FWA Footballer of the Year back in 1968.
