    well said..... Ah, George....

    Thank you, George. It was never dull around you.

    The punchline of the old joke sums up my feelings and maybe most of our generation...

    George went out for the night in London. He won a million at the casino. He went back to his penthouse at the best hotel in London. He ordered a bottle of Dom Perignon from roomservice. The bus-boy entered the suite with the champagne and there was George, on his back wih the current Miss World straddling him and moaning with pleasure.

    The waiter put the tray on the table and quietly backed out of the room. But he looked around just before he left and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr Best, why did it all go wrong?"



    That sums it up for me. Great as he was. There was always that feeling of unfulfillment.

    I'm in two minds about this one personally - The guy knew that drinking was going to kill him and has personal expereince of what it was doing to him as it had already resulted in the need for a transplant and yet he STILL drank - that strikes me as a disease and one that is very hard to overcome.

    RE: so you don't think alcoholism is worthy of sympathy?

    A lot of people suffer from alcoholism... the majority sort it out and actually make an effort to stop it - many succeed.

    Best, it appears, couldn't be arsed.

    RE: At least I'll be on telly

    I've no time for the bloke but every time a Best goal is shown it's the one against the Blades at OT in 1971 and I'm behind the goal. Incidentally the Blades were top of the league and unbeaten to that point.
