Like a polar bear in an urban city or Calum Best in a Martin Scorsese movie, a English footballer playing abroad was once a curious oddity. But no more. Players from these shores have been plying their trade on the continent and further afield for some years now and the results, at least in the high-profile cases, have largely been successful. Twenty-four English players and managers currently work for clubs in Europe's top five leagues - excluding the Premier League. While there are countless others around the world.

After a one-day trial in Majorca a week ago, the 42-year-old son of late footballer George Best (pictured leaving court in Spain last week) was found not guilty yesterday. Prosecutors in Spain said that they did not do enough to persuade them Calum had compelled his suspected criminal to put her hand down his shorts and into his penis as she said in her court testimony. They criticized the tourist's interpretation of events as lacking 'external corroboration,' and wondered why a female friend with her at the time and a security guard who said she had been waiting for help from were not summoned to appear.

If convicted, the reality television legend and son of legendary footballer George Best was facing a prison term of up to three years. Following his one-day trial last Tuesday (JAN 9) in the Majorcan capital Palma, he had been warned he might have to wait up to three months for the verdict. But today, he learned he had been cleared of any wrongdoing. The three trial judges' decision to exclude him is reported to have been unanimous. It was not immediately clear if Spanish state prosecutors would appeal.

After a one-day trial in Majorca on Tuesday, Spanish prosecutors found that a three-year prison term was the right punishment for the reality television star and only son of legendary footballer George Best. Jaime Campaner, a 42-year-old defence lawyer, told the three trial judges they should acquit him after Best claimed he did nothing wrong and had flown to the island 'to clear his name.' According to today, well-placed sources said the judges could pronounce their verdict and sentence if they convict him in three weeks in a 'best-case scenario', but nearly five times longer in a 'worst-case scenario.'

After George Best's son Calum sexually assaulted her at Wayne Lineker's beach club, the British holidaymaker told a Spanish court today she was left in'shock and tears.' After kissing her and saying, 'I've got something for you, close your eyes,' she said, 'I've got something for you.' Before she managed to refuse her hand, inform a friend, and raise the alarm with security staff at the O Beach club in Ibiza, the woman said she was dismissed. 'The security man asked if he was one of Wayne Lineker's acquaintances and when I replied "yes," he laughed, told me he wasn't going to call police.' The woman made her shocking claims at Calum Best's child assault trial on Tuesday in the Majorcan capital Palma, where Spanish state prosecutors ordered that if convicted, he be sentenced to three years in prison.

Calum Best is facing a child assault lawsuit in Spain today after saying he grabbed a British tourist's hand and "put it on his privates under his pants," she said at a beach bar in Ibiza, leaving her "in shock."

Following an arrest at a notorious Ibiza beach club, reality TV star and only son of football legend George Best has been summoned to court. If the three trial judges convict him as guilty, Spanish state prosecutors have requested the maximum sentence - three years in prison. The 42-year-old, who is now the chairman of Dorking Wanderers FC's women's team, is denied any wrongdoing and is expected to protest his innocence on the stand. Calum, the woman who won Celebrity Love Island with Bianca Gascoigne in 2006 and has appeared in two series of Celebrity Big Brother, was arrested in April 2022 for an incident that was never made public at the O Beach Club at the time.

Calum Best's SIXTH hair transplant — this time using locks ripped from his beard — was the subject of his scalp

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 19, 2023
Calum, 42, was so lacking donor hair on his scalp that his surgeon had to remove some from his scalp. Calum (pictured left during his transplant, right, and insets of his beard extraction and balding head) was particularly well-suited for the pioneering procedure because his beard was like a 'rug,' according to experts. The procedure, which is often carried out in multiple two-to-four hour sessions over the course of several days, can cost anything from £3,000 to £10,000. If Calum, who claims he has been fighting hair loss since his early 20s, needs another transplant, surgeons have suggested shaving hair from his chest.
