Beyond his family and friends, perhaps not. He was a f*cking brilliant football player though. The best in the world, according to Pele.

Hotel Porter to George Best as he brought him another bottle of bubbly, looking at the room where there were 3 former Miss Worlds naked in the bed, the current Miss World in the shower, a suitcase of £50 notes, caviar in fresh bread for sandwiches, 15 empty bubbly bottles on the floor, FA Cup winners medal on the bedside cabinet ................

"George, George, where did it all go wrong, mate?"

He lived a thousand lifetimes compared to what the membership of ScoobyNet will achieve!

That may be so, but they will be talking about him and what he did in the world 300 years after you are long forgotten ....... and the thread is about that.

I agree that he was a ******** ... BUT, he had reasons for why he was as he was ............ reasons that we mere mortals can only guess at.

Im sure most people on here wouldn't want to live his lifetime that he lived (the last few years anyway)

So yes in a way you are right

I had actually forgotten all about George Best until this thread was started

Shouldnt that be VDP

Very Drunk Person

now Very Dead Person, due to said constant Drunkeness

Now yes what he did for football was good, but how many people (especially the younger generation) will remember him for that

Or will they remember him for doing some one out of a Liver that would have been more worthy and valued their life more than he did ?

Dont worry, rest assured that no hopers like yourself will never be like him.

Better to burn out than flicker out without notice.

RIP

Name one good thing that George Best did in his life, that outweighs the fact he stole someones liver that could have gone to a far more worthy life ?

he had a few good years in his prime and youth, and decades of bad ones

I doubt anyone could say that in the last 20 years George Best has been their inspiration and role model (cept chav scum bingeheads )


Quick Reply: has anyone missed George Best since he died?
