Sam Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 pfft...however harsh this sounds, i'm glad the guy has died.he drank so much, someone gave him a liver, but the idiot carried on drinking. as far as i'm concerned he's wasted so much of the NHS's time and money, that could've been better spent on people that actually need it - not on a guy that doesnt give a **** about anyone except himself. let him rot. 586852279[/snapback] Its a disease. Not exactly something you can just "stop". RIP.

FaRSightxc2 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Although he led a far from angelic life, George Best made an example of himself in later life of how not to live. It was he who wanted pictures of himself on life support machienes to be published as a message to others and to show what alcohol can do to you. He was an amazing footballer - one in a million - and he kept in good humour through everything. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. - FaRSightxc2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/401895-george-best-has-died/page/4/#findComment-586855180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourjays Veteran Posted November 26, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2005 I too, agree with Bhav. It was a waste of a perfectly good liver that could have been used to save someone elses life...

msntrev Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 he may have done some stupid things in his life...but these were related to the alcohol, theres no need to have that attitude towards him. I know the effects of alcohol and i know how it easily "sucks you in", i've been there, but managed to get out before it was too late. with the help of family and friends etc i got out before i was sucked in completely. George was not so lucky. He was very good at football, but just like a lot of famous people they get into trouble out of the spotlight. Im sure he was put under a lot of pressure and having a drink can ease the pressure, but then he began relying on drink. Yes he did some bad things, everyone here acknowledges that, but still saying have fun in hell, etc is no way to speak about someone.

Danny1810 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 There are criteria for getting a liver transplant due to alcoholism, you have to be sober for a year, have gone for help to fight your addiction etc. This man accomplished all those things, he did what is required of him to get this liver. I'm sure he isnt the only alcoholic to have had this happen to them. Not everyone can quit, kudos to those who manage to kick a habit, be it drugs, alcohol or smoking, but I dont think those who can't should be villified. I've heard some people say terrible things about him these last couple of days, whatever happened to respect for the recently deceased? :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/401895-george-best-has-died/page/4/#findComment-586864387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 People from all walks of life joined in paying their last respects to George Best on Saturday.Around 32,000 people gathered in the capital of Northern Ireland to pay tribute to the Manchester United legend who passed away after losing his fight to overcome complications arising from a liver transplant. Best's coffin was carried from the Cregagh estate on which he grew up before being driven to Stormont's Parliament buildings, where 300 mourners said a final farewell to the footballing genius. Crowds lining the streets applauded the passing funeral cortege, hurling roses and Northern Ireland scarves in tribute to the iconic Belfast son and, at the family's request, 10 people were chosen from the crowd and invited to attend the formal ceremony. Amongst those present at Stormont were former United teammates Denis Law, Paddy Crerand, Harry Gregg and Sir Bobby Charlton. Sir Alex Ferguson, Sven-Goran Eriksson, and Lawrie Sanchez were also in attendance, while tributes from the Royal Family, Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern were placed at the foot of Parliament Buildings. TV star Eamonn Holmes led the memorial service, saying: "He belonged to us all and today, more than ever, we want to show the world how delighted we are that he came from a country of just one and a half million people and became the best footballer the world has ever seen. "George, we mourn your life cut short, but we are proud to welcome you home." Law, who was at Best's bedside during the final hours of his life, added: "I think, to be successful and to do something good you have got to be a fighter, and that is what he had. "That was shown in abundance over these last few weeks. Lesser people would have passed away hours and hours ago. "I would like to think that we would meet up again one day. Needless to say, not too soon. I have got a few years to go hopefully but maybe one day." Hundreds of people also thronged Exchange Square in Manchester where United and City fans joined together to pay their last respects.
