Mary Stavin left him after he fell off the bandwagon one too many times due to his alcoholism and his affairs with other women.

So this picture is definitely of his Danish girlfriend Eva Haraldsted and not of the Swedish blonde Miss World Mary Stavin. Mary Stavin was crowned Miss World in November 1977 and did not meet George Best until 1982, she was in a relationship with him from 1982 to 1985.

It was this year in 1973 that he must have broke up with her because he hooked up with the new Miss World 1973, Marjorie Wallace after November 1973 when she became Miss World. Marjorie broke up with George Best in January 1974 after a row and scandal over theft from her flat.

This is George Best but not with Mary Stavin, it’s Eva Haraldsted, his Danish girlfriend from their relationship between 1969 to 1973.

Mary Stavin did not come to the attention of the world until 1977 when she won Miss World 1977 in London on 17th November 1977. Mary Stavin did not meet George Best until 1982 and was in a relationship with him until she left him in 1985 because of alcoholism and his affairs.

This not Mary Stavin at all with George Best. This photo is of George Best with his girlfriend at the time, Danish blonde Eva Haraldsted was taken at London’s Heathrow Airport in the early 1970’s.
