The doctor said "Geroge Best is going to die, it is just a matter of time." So the one of Manchester United's greatest players is going to die it is just a matter of time.

When he dies it will be a sad day for football.

[The_Mole]

It has ended.

[Lady Templar]

He has unfortunatelly died this afternoon.

Prime Minister Tony Blair led tributes to the man he called "probably the most naturally gifted footballer of his generation, one of the greatest footballers the UK has ever produced".

He was a true legend and he'll will never be forgotten.

Although he made his mistakes in life, he lived life the way he wanted, on behalf of everyone at Chelsea Football Club, rest in Peace George - You were the best.

My favorite George Best line was.

" I used to go missing a lot. Miss Canada, Miss UK, Miss World...."
Rest George Best, Rest.

I wouldn't have thought George Best was known much outside Europe. It's pleasantly surprising that a chap from America knows him

[Obiwan]

I'm From america too.

[WC]

Well his best days are behind him now.

Welshcat you got to see him play??

Welshcat you got to see him play??

Well only on tv. Years and years ago.

[Obiwan]

At least you saw him play somewhere I realize I was born way after his time, but I still wish I could see him grace the game.

Well, when I say I saw him play, that might've been a replay of a match. Or possibly not. I can't remember it very clearly. I can remember tennis matches from the 1970s more clearly though, which were definitely NOT replays.

He may have been a genius on the field, but I just have to wonder who might have missed out on a liver 3 years ago only to have this wanker get it and waste it.

I was a big Pele fan. And learn of Mr. Best, because of him. Sadly that was a long time ago.

I'm not really a fan of football. George's dad Dickie Best wants him to be buried back here in Belfast 1/2 a million are xpected at his funeral. I'm sure he was not perfect, but name me one person who is?

The wife.

Too young to remember him as anything other than a sideshow, but a grim way to die, poor sod. May have been self-inflicted but it's still sad.

[Agent 76]

Rest in peace Georgie.

My thoughts exactly. I have no sympathy for the man. It is the price he had to pay for being an alcoholic.

If you've got problems, drinking is no excuse. It's his own fault. It is self inflicted.

Double Ditto.

If you'd watched the programme on his life, you'd realise what a loser he really was.

I've met him a few times when he used to come down to Southend-On-Sea with his family. He was even drunk as a lord then, and was constantly arguing with his wife.

I'm sure if these so called Sports/Pop 'personalties' didn't earn such excessive amount of money would they become such a wreck.

You're all a bunch of royal [censored]ing wanks.
George Best was a [censored]ing legend on the field. period. that's how he should be remembered.

We agree then.

AND it's against these forums conditions to bypass the censor.

He had his problems, but you can't really deny what he did. I honest never heard of him before just now, as I am both American and too young to remember him. I think it's rude to pick at him for his personal problems though. It's a cheap shot. Everyone has problems. Drinking was the man's choice, and alcoholism is a very serious problem. The man had a contribution to society, and that's how he should be remembered. His personal life should be just that: personal. The man never attacked any of us personally, so why kick him when he's down? That's just rude.

Time to say goodbye to the thread too, unless anyone has any objections?
