Lady Die 63 Posted October 24, 2005 He's getting better .... until he goes on another bender. How much longer can his body take the abuse he gives it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted October 24, 2005 He's getting better .... until he goes on another bender. How much longer can his body take the abuse he gives it? It is bound to catch up with him sometime. With so many close calls, if he is put on the list, George Best could become deathlist's new Clive Dunn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_fan 42 Posted October 27, 2005 George Best has taken a turn for the worse apparently according to his ex-wife Alex.... Here's a link Damn, I was hoping that he would at least last until Jan 1st, 2006. In his present condition, I would be very surprised if he is alive 1 week from now.

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted October 27, 2005 Another link as per the others posted recently from Best to Worst . I love the last line on the page, He once famously said: "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered." You're alright with me George.

Lady Die 63 Posted October 27, 2005 I heard on the radio news that he's had surgery which is what caused the internal bleeding. Things don't sound too good for him. I've got mixed feelings - one one hand it's his own fault for abusing his body, but part of me feels sorry for him because he couldn't help it. Whatever, he was a fantastic footballer in his day. I hope he hangs on till 2006 so I can have him in my DDP squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 27, 2005 This is most inconsiderate behaviour by Mr Best, he would have been first on my list for 2006. The prognosis does not look very good, I would concur with Iain's theory that he will be dead before the weekend. George should get one last drink in before last orders.

Lady Die 63 Posted October 27, 2005 George should get one last drink in before last orders. I heard he's on life support. Maybe they could put some alcohol in his drip. Imagine the flames at the crematorium! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
