Big Hugs to Mike passionkiss
Remember darlin
The Legend will always live on
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
Leyton Orient Fan
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.

You've summed up my thoughts exactly.
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 ?

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.

Well, I had more courtesy than to post 'Bollocks' under all the threads kissing his arse, even if I thought it.
Cheeky Chimp - I've just looked back through some of your past posts and when it comes to speaking 'bollocks' you seem to have the monopoly on it... just my opinion of course... wink
We're all entitled to our opinions but when we express them in an unconstructive, almost agressive way they are often badly received in a public forum such as this sad Try shouting bollocks at someone in a bar soon and see what kind of response you get confused Same difference in my opinion.... :?: :!:

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.

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.
