Calum Best has been announced by Newport County AFC to join their Hall of Fame event, held at Celtic Manor Resort on Sunday 3rd May. 

Calum’s father, George Best, goes down in history as one of the greatest football legends, so he knows full well the impact that the sport has, both on and off the field. Recently, he curated the international exhibition “George Best: 20 Years of Immortal Legacy,” honouring his father’s enduring impact on the sport. He has also recently extended into sports management as the Chairman of Dorking Wanderers Women’s FC. 

Calum has a long-standing commitment to charity work, which include being a patron for NACOA (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics), drawing from his own personal experience, and uses his platforms positively to raise awareness. In 2024 and 2025, Calum continued this work through the Chasing Yesterday campaign, which raises funds to support children currently living in alcoholic households. This year, his awareness and fundraising efforts have expanded into cancer awareness, following his mother’s recent diagnosis. 

Calum is a fantastic speaker who does so much for the community, and now, he’ll be joining more than 350 people in a room at the prestigious Celtic Manor Resort to honour County’s legends in an exclusive Q&A. 

Those being honoured during the event include; 

The Hall of Fame will take place in the Carnarfon Suite at the Celtic Manor Resort, starting from 6:30pm. Evening sponsors will be able to access the event from 5:30pm with an exclusive pre-event. The black-tie event promises to be a memorable date in the diary for the club, with a spotlight on past and present legends, as well as live entertainment and well-known guest speakers. 

A full list of guest speakers and sponsors will also be announced soon.
