RIP George
I saw him play for Duntable before the end or his career, he was still good in them day and he could have played for year more, finishing football at 26 was a great lose to football in this country.
The memory of George will live on for every.
Rest in peace George

Im not really a footy fan and i didnt really know much about him apart from what id seen in the news in recent times, i hope that the press give his family peace and quiet to mourn him.
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.

I have a question.
A question I've never managed to ask without getting into a punch up. (Literally)
Why is it that when people die, they become good people ?
I'm not talking specifically about George Best, and "Don't speak ill of the dead" is right up there with "Expect the unexpected" and "All things in moderation" in that they mean jack shit to me, other than words uttered by buffoons.
If someone was an arse in life, then why aren't they still an arse after they'd died ?
Oh Dear ??
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
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.
