Give me half a chance to live my life like George Best and I'll let you know in a few months whether I'm a ragin' alchy or not.

For what its worth, i like george best. He's a hero of mine (for his football) and when i come to think of it, many of my heroes had problems, be it sportsmen, musicians, writers...
when he first went to hospital i read some posts on here saying he should be refused treatment,
i'm glad internet forum users feel they have the power of life and death over sick people.he was an amazing talent, and made some big mistakes, but his charisma always got through (though not on wogan unfortunately..)
As i'm writing, he's just been annouced dead.
RIP george,
and ironically now, i'm going to have a beer in memory of a good man

A quote from bobby charlton (especially for moth)
"If, instead of being hostile to George, which I was, we had leaned a bit his way and tried to help him, who knows?"

I think the best quote is from another legend, The Lawman:
"From 1964 to 1969 he was the best player in the country. It's sad as hell, but I don't think we saw the best of him. I think he went on the blink at a time when he could have got even better. You hit your peak as a player around 28 and he was gone by then. Even so, I'd put him on a par with the top six I ever saw. I wouldn't like to choose between George, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Maradona, Pele and John Charles. Bestie definitely belongs among that elite.
If I'd known then what I know now I'd have given him a right smack, but at the time we all had enough on our own plates without trying to solve his problems." Denis Law

RIP georgie.
As a lifelong red I will enjoy an evening in watching the inevitable tribute programs tonight, taking in george as he should be remembered - a legend on the pitch making defenders look like c***s.
One of the all time greats.

I saw George Best last year, standing on his own with a holdall, in the vestibule of the Victoria branch of HSBC Bank, eyes looking rather glazed as he swayed.
It was pretty sad really.
To be honest I dont have any respect for the man bar the fact that he was a great player, did any of you read that pathetic column he had in whatever pathetic sunday newspaper it was.. Absolute drivel, he once wrote how he wanted to have a fight with P Diddy for taking the piss out of his fully grown son or some shit.
Funny, a lot of people snub tramps and homeless people for being drunk or on smack, but lets face it, they are peolpe with real hardships and reason to turn to drink/drugs, maybe you should be telling yourself about these 'illnesses' next time you snub somebody on the streets.
