Hmmm - I'm going now cos I've had a really giggly afternoon in the shower, and before my views on death become more apparent than some already know.
Chumpy, if your "oh dear !!" comment was directed at me, my PM button is down there.
Of course its a shame he has died, you have to feel for those he has left behind, but as for hero ? ? I am with callista NO WAY, he could have been, perhaps should have been, but ended up falling well short of that mark.

Mixed emotions here ... whilst I do feel he should be left to rest in peace and his death will no doubt devastate many, the man was not a god or a hero, he squandered his gift and in that sense turned his back on his ability and country.
He spent time in prison, had been charged with a number of assaults, was an adulterer and revelled in domestic violence, an alcoholic when given a heavily debated second chance couldn't stay off the booze.
His death is sad but let's face hardly surprising and man doesn't deserve the veneration he's received.

You've summed up my thoughts exactly.
Mine too.
Ditto - ironic that he died the day 24 hour drinking came in too confused
More Bollocks..!!!!
So people aren't allowed to have an opinion that doesn't agree with yours?
THAT'S BOL-- LOCKS!
You've aired your opinion and I've aired mine....whats the problem...?
Well, I had more courtesy than to post 'Bollocks' under all the threads kissing his arse, even if I thought it.
Kissing his arse...too right...the Man is a Legend, a Footballing Genius especially here in Manchester....Millions of people around the world adore him....so...I'm my opinion what you posted, in My opinion was deemed bollocks....no offence intended but that just seemed to sum up my feeling/opinion.

From all accounts Saddam Hussein was a generous man to his family, doted on his children and wives and yet he was a tyrant to his people. Does that make him a hero and an upstanding parent?
I admitted he was a good footballer but he was no hero ... and doesn't deserve to be held up as a shining example of one for this country, you remember him for kicking a goal in the back of the net, but remember that countless others remember him as an alcoholic abuser, no matter how good his footballing, how he conducted himself off the pitch speaks volumes more.

Saddam Hussein...Saddam Hssein..wtf has he got to do with anything....especially Georgie Best.....a very poor comparison Calista....come on..x

cheekychimp, your not helping anyone by posting aggressive statements, people have different opinions and should be allowed to post those opinions without being verbally abused. I am sad at the news of his death as I have already posted but lets not allow his death to spark off a slagging match between us here.
You have the right to your opinion but please remember so does everyone else.

As always Judy.....good, sound advice...x

And what evidence can you present to deny any of my claims, search a stack of websites. The man was a footballer, never tried to do any good except to suit himself, and his fantastic footballing skills (which I won't deny) were wasted.

Look, whatever he did in his private & personal life is up to him...we've all got our faults but what we don't have is the feckin media following you ALL your life waiting for you to slip up on the smallest thing......if you were one of the most famous and talented people in the world at such a young age in the swinging sixties...what would you be like..?
I'll remember him for the football side of things.
Marcus...x
The man squandered the gift of another opportunity and a new liver. Some poor sod died in order for him to receive another opportunity to live, then he wasted it and ended up in the same place, only later and after possibly depriving another person the opportunity to live longer.
He was a great footballer, but as a role model or non-footballing icon it's hypocritical.
