I read somewhere that transplanted livers don't last as well as one's own. Maybe something to do with the anti-rejection drugs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted October 3, 2005 The caption underneath Best's photo in this BBC article dated 19th August 2002 says it all... George Best has said he will never drink again Presumably he said that every single time he sobered up and the full gravity of his hangover began to take its toll. Déja-vu all over again? Let's get him on the 2006 DL. As an aside, the article also states that he required 40 units of blood during the marathon 10-hour transplant op. As a regular blood donor (I know, I know, I'm on remarkably shaky moral high-ground here) I'm dismayed that so much useful blood was given to this living, breathing example of why some people should have "Do Not Resuscitate" tattooed on their foreheads. He surely has nothing left to contribute to society. Put him on a Glenlivet I.V. and let him slip away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IKYWN 6 Posted October 3, 2005 Just how many times has George Best been at death's door in the last few years? I think its high time a "three strikes and your're out" rule was introduced for such people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 3, 2005 It would be an odd sort of atmosphere if he did die. I remember when Eric Morecame died at a similar age in 1984, and although it had been on the cards,(Morecame had heart by-pass surgery in 1979) there was genuine sadness when he died. When Best goes, there will be the enevitable acknowledgement of his greatness as a footballer, but after that, it would be an uncomfortable air when we reflect on how he subsequently pissed that great talent up the wall.
