FFS!
Can't you just let the guy rest in piece?? How easily everyone jumps on the moral bandwagon. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone?

So are the George Best jokes allowed yet, or is it still too soon?

Idi Amin was a champion boxer, so maybe we should forgive him his later transgressions too ?

From what I have read about the guy since he died you probably wouldn't want your kid to grow up just like him, but Idi Amin and Hitler, I think that's a being a bit rough on the guy just for being a drunk.

Lifestyle aside, You probably will never see another football player
with that much natural talent, a player who easily was as good as Cruyff,Maradona,Pele etc. He makes todays "superstars" look like sunday afternoon amatuers.
I quote the Man Utd scout who found him in Northern Irleand when he called Matt Busby "Matt, I think Ive found you a genius"
pretty much sums it up.
