Re: George Best
A bit of a feeble reply Pompey.
Georgie Boy....quite frankly wasted the gift he was given. Yeah I feel sorry...sorry for his family and sorry for the family of the person who's organs he got.
It seems to me that Georgie Boy made a career out of 6 years of top level Footie.
As for being the best the British Isles have seen....Hmm...I dont think so.

The bloke was still a human being. Granted he did bad stuff and made stupid decisions. If you cant have any respect for him at least show some for his family hes not even cold yet FFS !

I could not agree more, a little respect for his family would be nice, sad that some people have none what so ever.

I think the thing with George Best was that he was too close to see the genius that he was and the legend he now will become, a minutes cheering at all the football this weekend, not silence

Re: Goerge Best RIP
it's 'Mr Annqldau'
Never been a football fan (I know, I know - how can I be English and not into footie???? - heard it all before) but even as a non-fan I can appreciate that George Best was a 'character' - not a football fan. As someone who left the game at 27 years old, yet still remained in teh media as a person until now, how can you not admire that. OK - some might think he was inthe spotlight for the wrong reasones, but if there was ever a role model for 'live now - die later' it has to be him. He spit in the eye of critics, did what he wanted to do and lived life, not just to the full, but over and above what most of us could even dream of. Best of luck to anyone with that outlook!! - bet he's up there now (or down there) ordering pints with whisky chasers - and good luck to him!!!!
