maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted July 14, 2016 One possible exit we haven't debated for Gazza is that someone will take a swing at him and his alcohol addled brain will spring a leak of blood. A serious possibility given the capacity he apparently has whilst drunk for casual insults, including racism, and - allegedly - getting his cock out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but Gazza is at the extreme level of alcoholism. This is why I don't trust drug addicts on deathlist. They are unpredictable. Hard to call of course but I'd lay money his age on death will be younger than that of George Best. So he's gone well within 12 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted December 7, 2016 How has he not had liver failure yet???? Even everyday heavy drinkers have only around a 1 in 3 chance of developing chronic liver failure. That, and he's still not old at 49. (He looks a wee bit older than that, thanks to his drinking habits.) So he has plenty of time to develop 7 different types of cancer* (including hepatic cancer) or just chronic liver failure. * http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/alcohol-and-cancer/how-alcohol-causes-cancer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to call of course but I'd lay money his age on death will be younger than that of George Best. So he's gone well within 12 years. That's my problem with picking him in a deadpool (or with the Committet picking him). Yes, I believe he will die because of his addicition and he won't reach the age of 60, but that's still a long way to go. Basically a chance of 1/12th or so, though a death in the late 50s is much more likely than a death at 50. So what's the probability of his dath in 2017? Maybe 5%.

JR976evil 909 Posted December 27, 2016 He's a complete f uck up to be sure but I think he's still a long shot for now. He hasn't got sick enough for a liver transplant yet, which you have to assume he'd get and then squander a la George Best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exu 250 Posted December 27, 2016 the only time I personally encountered Gazza was when he as appointed manager of Kettering Town some years ago. One of his first away games was at the team I happen to support. A few of us happened to be in the car park when the team coach arrived so we hung around for a few minutes hoping to get a glimpse of a footballing icon. Gazza proceeded to fall down the steps of the coach as he attempted to exit. At that moment an illusion was shattered and there was a realisation that Kettering would be looking for a new manager in the not too distant future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted December 27, 2016 Seriously there is only so many more times he can do this before it kills him. look at Amy winehouse in the end one drink too many and she was 22 years younger than gazza. He is on borrowed time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He hasn't got sick enough for a liver transplant yet, which you have to assume he'd get and then squander a la George Best He's a long shot only if you assume he'd go down the George Best route, with liver failure/transplants etc. But there are a few other options: One of these drunken rages could seal his fate: what if he (or someone else) hits his head a little harder? What if he chokes on his own vomit? Acute alcohol poisoning or a simple heart attack (his heart being weakened by years of abuse) are also not out of the question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
