Not sure if i feel sorry for the guy or not after wrecking a 2nd kidney!
Someone else could have benefitted from that donor kidney, such a shame
RIP george, once a great but died a wasting drunk

Does that mean that we'll now actually get some news on the news services? Or lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth about the loss of a great figure in football?
Not terribly sympathetic to someone who threw away their chance at a new life because they'd rather stay p!ssed...

Georgie Best was probably the *greatest* football player who ever lived. Its a shame that he pissed his talent up the wall; but nothing will be able to take that away from him.

but he didnt wreck his second liver, dont you read the facts 
his bodys immune system was suppressed by drugs so his body didnt reject it thus making him susceptable to infection.
he died from a lung infection that led to internal bleeding.

The number minutes silence will be equivelent to the time it would take ol besty to finish off a bottle of voddy. So that'll be about 30 seconds then 
Yes he was, a fair while ago, when he actually played football, rather good, but after that, nothing more than a playboy drunk, cashing in on his prior acheivements.
He destroyed a liver through drink, and that was totally his own doing. His death was a result of an infection caused due to drugs used to prevent organ rejection. Sad as it might be, but if he'd been a little less of a drunkard he'd not have wasted the liver that could have gone to someone more worthy. Yes, he did get to spend more time with his kid, but I really don't think that he would have been off the booze for too long and no doubt would have needed another transplant, and again been fast-tracked because of his "celebrity" status, a term I use in the loosest possible sense.

Ah! Perhaps we could ban the old racist St George and have a new less offensive St George the Best.
Brilliant.
