George Best \'Enters Final Hours\'
 

I'm really not that sad. He brought it all on himself. But fighting an addiction seems horribly difficult, so I guess I should have more sympathy for him. What a tragic waste.

its sad what happened to him. My father's side of my family is from Belfast and my dad was a big fan of him/the red devils.

Shame but he brought it all on himself, pissed away his career and continued in rest of his life. His son seems to be heading the same way.
