In 2003 Celia Walden, a young reporter, receives a phone call from her editor. She is to drop everything, travel to Malta and track down legendary footballer George Best. When Celia does discover him, in an Irish bar drinking countless white wine spritzers, he isn't exactly delighted to see her. But the unlikely friendship that develops between George and Celia reveals an intelligent, funny, wild and complex human being, a man who loved reading thrillers, was a member of MENSA, worshipped women, and whose extraordinary life had played out under the constant glare of the media spotlight. Babysitting George is a tender and beautifully written account of a unique relationship between a young journalist and a dying star. It questions the cold, exploitative nature of tabloid journalism, the terrifying, all-consuming nature of addiction and the deeply humane, implausible friendships that can change one's life forever.
