Now the little black book where Best kept names and numbers of numerous lovers has sold at auction for £1,500. And in the mid-1970s he had a brief encounter with Texan Miss World Marjorie Wallace. Best said later: “She wanted me because I was George Best and I wanted her because she was Miss World. “If you’d given me the choice of beating four men and smashing a goal in from 30 yards against Liverpool or going to bed with Miss World,” he once said. Stacey’s Auctioneers in Basildon, Essex, said the book held “all his main contacts including, girlfriends” while a note inside reads: “With love, from George”.
