Waiting for George to die reminds me of the week we were waiting for JP2 to pope his clogs.

I'm a traditionalist,so I'm plumping for a 3 o'clock kick-off!

With Sky involved, it'll be 9 o'clock on Wednesday night with a four-hour build-up by Andy Gray.

Okay I along with all the press thought he would pop his clogs last night, but since he hasn't, I'll go for a late afternoon 15.30ish sending off. :P

No, I don't think so. Several papers have been running obits and the Jeremy Vine show on radio 2 has just had a tribute to him, although some listeners have pointed out he isn't dead yet. But I suppose if you're not on-air again until Monday ...

Respect to the man, he's given the combined talents of the DL compilers a body swerve as skilful as those he managed on the pitch.

Almost exactly 24 hours since he was given 24 hours to live.

Time to remove the poll. I would feel sympathy for his dad. Outliving your own son...

Farewell George, hope there's a nice triple vodka waiting for you in heaven.

I've just edited his biography in Wikipedia, by the way. Just tidying up all the updates on his condition. That will be changed a bit by others, but I've made my contribution...

A while back he said he had 6 months to live. Does anybody remember when that was as it would be interesting to see if he was right!

...and just as the relaxation of the drinking laws came into effect.

 

I'm sure there is some irony in that somewhere!!!!

I can't believe that the DDP doesn't count this as a suicide! :P

Like mother, like son. She died of alcoholism too.

I've notice that have been two more NO votes since it was announced that he has died! I think we can take it as read that Best will not survive into 2006...
