Yesterday's Hero is a 1979 British drama film directed by Neil Leifer and starring Ian McShane, Suzanne Somers, Adam Faith, Paul Nicholas and Cary Elwes (in his film debut).[1][2] It also features Glynis Barber and Emma Samms in their early performances.[3] The screenplay was written by novelist Jackie Collins, but was an original work and not based on one of her books.[4] Although it has echoes of the life of the former player George Best, the film is not biographical.[5]
