I wish he'd played for LIVERpool, that would have given plenty of humour ammunition.

In for a bad reaction to the pills he takes for his alchoholism (so I hear on the radio just now). Probably took them with a drink as well

Sorry for his family, but what a waste of space this man is.

Wasted life.

How much did he drink a day? Was it buckets of beer, or was he an evil spirits man, or...

Amputation of wine bottle from jacket pocket.

does he read pistonheads? can he even read?

I suppose he could employ someone to read it to him though

[Eric Mc]

He peobably doesn't even know who George Best is, to be frank.

[john_p]

Dead list for this year methinks

[satman]

One of the greatest footballers in his day.....but IMO, now just a pi$$ taker, who obviously didnt deserve the transplant, private or not.

What happened to that drug he got that made him ill whenever he drinks?

It made him ill!

.......for the umpteenth time!

IIRC he's already on his second transplant, after he abused the first. He's had his chances IMHO, f**k him. There are already far less available organs than there are those who need them, so any others should go to those more deserving and less inappreciative. It is not for people like him that Donor Cards are filled out.

alcoholism is a disease, it's not a case of someone who likes a bevvy for chrissakes. I've seen plenty of people in a living hell who would gladly swap places with you
