"One of Calum Best's most cherished memories of his father is a special day from their time in America, ending with them riding a tandem bike on Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles. It was George Best, the tortured football genius, for once at ease with life."
""I just remember there was such a relaxed feeling from him because he was able to just live a bit more free than he would in the UK," Calum says. "This is so silly, but I love it to death. He rented a bicycle built for two, and we rode the boardwalk in Hermosa Beach. And I just hold that memory dear.""
