"i'd be very surprised if he survived another 24 hours," Professor Roger Williams said.

unlucky....spent his money on drink and women, the rest he just sqandered. a classic quote. feel for the family, but he was his own worst enemy

Scooby Soon!

THANK GOD!

They will stop going on about it on every radio, internet news site and tv news!!

Sounds heartless but its driving me mad, people die every day!

davyboy

Shame he wont be around for 24 hour drinking, he would have loved that

CrisPDuk

Didn't the same doctor say the same thing last week? FFS get on with it!

about time that bed was freed up for someone else...

_RIP_

Alcohol, the most dangerous drug on the planet. Pity most people dont realise this until it's too late.

David Lock

You miserable lot

Hardly his fault that the press are making a meal of it. Live and let live I say! Of course he was a drunken alco but he probably had more fun in his life despite his problems than most of us. And he could play footy quite well Hope he has a peaceful ending.

From Hero to Zero.

dpb

in what way was he a hero.?

sociopath

Oliver Reed went out in better style. P*ssed as a fart on a restaurant floor. Class!

I bet the family of the person who donated the liver for him to just waste it again really care.....

mart360

I dont whish anyone dead, but you,d have thought by now the docs and he would have had some serious discussions as to the way forward..

the guys dying, and he knows it, this is where i question the logic of the hippocratic oath, if its terminal (as it very obviously is) why prolong the inevitable

In that extra time his son has got to know his father and they appear to have become close. I think that counts for a lot. Far too many people wish him the worst and are quick to judge.

dpb

He got parts as a result of that image,right....

The Rani

I don't even know why they gave him the transplant. Everyone knew he wouldn't stop drinking and there were far more deserving cases.

dpb

Not hugley no. He may have beena sporting icon to boy footballers for a while - but to call him a hero is ott.....imo.

I'm sure the irony would bring a smile to his face

"about bloody time!"

George Best - Legend! For a period of his life he lived the dream!

Playing and winning the European Cup with Manchester United, Sleeping with more than one Miss World, Driving the best cars of his era, being the centre of attention are parties, friends of the stars and rich as well.

Still I'm sure he'd rather have sat in front of a PC all day bitching about people........

Do you know these deserving cases? Just wondered as the people who also may have been suitable at the time could have been rapists etc. but I'm sure he denied some saintly person the chance at life. Fact is it was the doctors choice who got the liver and for all you know he may have been the only suitable recipient for it as unlikely as that may sound.

mart360

On the contrary,

ok he was football player, that does not infer god like status on anybody.

Probably what narks people is the fact that a Known alcoholic got a lifesaving liver and then went on to milk the talkshow circuit with his born again stance, and then proceeded to stick two fingers up at the people who helped him and drunk himself into potentially the grave.

imagine how you would feel if one of your loved ones was waiting for a liver, and it was the one he got?

davegtt

well said Sws, people can be so short sighted at times because of what gets said in the press.... Too quick to judge.

He was a Hero/legend to many people...FACT

He was an alci, nobody is denying that, but alot of people who have liver transplants are alci's I dont see you moaning about that everyday but because hes in the press for his drinking its OK to slate him.

Scooby-Mark

Err that should be reworded to say Manchester United fan ??

As far as i am concerned its just a load of hype over another alcoholic about to loose his life the drink.
He can't expect sympathy now because he is nearly dead from drink, he chose the lifestyle he led, he wasn't forced to drink that much and even worse didn't take note when he had the transplant.

And before you ask yes I am a football fan, a very loyal Tottenham supporter.
