On the bright side we still have his son...and as young as he may be...he's as lovely as his father once was!!!! Yum!
Sarah said:Well i can only dream...... im about as likely to meet him as Georgie was going to give up the drink!
In fairness though apperantly in the early years when Best tried to give up the drink or was playing matches people (and at this stage it was well known that he had a drink problem) used to come up and put pints on front of him just for the laugh to get him back on the drink!
he never recieved the help he needed, be it that he never asked for it or didnt know how to or whatever,at the end of the day he was a great fotballer and a lovely man.

Not a football fanatic either, the opposite I'm afraid, but he was a great player and may have been genetically predisposed to alcoholism - his mother died of the same disease in her fifties.Gabriel said:But he was a very sad and pathetic man if you ask me. Much like Oliver Reed - a great actor but a raving and very pathetic alcoholic.
I've seen alcoholism first hand and know its bitter reality. Perhaps Best never got the right support. I suspect he had plenty of it in his later years mind you. Not someone I would have any great respect for. Perhaps that's because I'm not a footie fanatic. I can appreciate his footballing genius in his early years. After that however there's really nothing to look up to this man about.
Like all addictions it can be beaten with support and will power.
