the rest I squandered"

yep, George Best is finally dead…Bless him

for those of you who dont know him, he’s a chap who in the UK is hero worshipped for kicking a ball in the 1966 football world cup, he played good football for a few years after that and then retired

He went on to do bits and bobs in the football industry and drank, drank and drunk

nearly killed himself and was always in the news… for his alcoholism
got a liver transplant about 3 years ago and promised everyone he wouldnt drink again

the nation sighed a huge sigh of relief because he was irreplacable

until it was reported he was in a drunken brawl, and went back to his old habits of drinking and drinking and drunking too…

anyway he is dead

he has been taking up lots of news time nearly dying and now it is finally done

the nation is in mourning for this man who kicked a ball nearly forty years ago

how he will be sorely missed

I bet all the newspapers tommorow morning will say that

He didn’t just kick a ball around. :rolleyes: He was actually quite a catch back in the olden days of the 70’s.

May he rest in peace. :flower1:

I feel quite strongly about this......I have no sympathy to offer. He was a man in the limelight, someone that kids would look up to and use as a role model for their furthuring their sports skills. What message is he sending out now???Alcohol abuse took over and ruined another person's chances of receiving a liver transplant, someone who could have a made a real difference in the world. A total waste of valuable resources, and a huge insult to the family of the donor too. Over indulgence and reckless behaviour........not a good way to go. However, I do believe that alcoholism is a disease of the mind, one just doesn't know when to stop once they've experienced the buzz it gives them.

Some people don’t agree, but that’s their opinion and this is mine. We take too much for granted and biting the hand that feeds you takes the Michael…

Lazy, was Georgie a desi? The reason I ask
he claims and as suggested in the title of this thread
he was fond of birds, booze and fast cars
is he referring to women when he says birds?

He was "pagal da putter". He got what he deserved, I hope he enjoys the hell.

Sorry about my anger, but I dont have any sympathy for anyone who gets a God given second chance & carries on doing what kills him. Na Shukray loge.

The nation is NOT mourning and NOR will he be missed.

He may have been a good footballer, but as a man, he was a loser, a playboy, an alcoholic and a WIFE BEATER.

Some sections of the Leeds, Man City and Liverpool fans voiced their opinions on him at the weekend's min silence (or moreso, the lack of silence).

Re: i spent money on birds, booze and fast cars

lazy, you shouldn't have. There are other things to spend money on ... for example, most women love shoes.
