My Photos

My Photos http://www.albertcooper.co.uk/My_Life_/George_Best.html When I first photographed George I got prints done, to give him and some for the local kids, but never realized the importance of keeping copies, and the negs went to London, and the Best ones never seemed to come back. So unfortunately all I have to remind me of those wonderful times are the cuttings from the paper at the time, here are a few. With Regrets!
