Well, the person whose liver he took when he promised not to drink again probably died a long time ago.
The guy was a pretty good footballer in his day but never played at the top level and would never make it in todays game.
His crap jokes and trash lifestyle will not be missed by me when he does succumb.

How sad
You's do all know that alcoholism is an illness.
All alcoholics are born with an addictive personallity but only a small number manage to kick it but it normally takes up in another form, food , drugs, eg
My friend is one of the lucky ones, 4AA meetings a week and now a sugar binge but hey, what the hell
