Sigh, too much drinking took a toll on him. Although I hate Man U, but it feels sad to lose a great talent like him.
RIP.

if u seen the way he played during his hey day, he can be comparable to pele and maradona if not better.
2 bad he played for N Ireland, if only he played for england, he might have a go for the world cup glory with England.
Best Man U player ever yet to appear in Man U jersey -
He got a reprieve in 2002 with a new liver, but alas, he didnt quit drinking.
He shd have died in 2002, but was given a second chance with a new liver, but alas he didnt take tt second chance and relive his life.
all his life, he has been wasting his talent and money on women and drinks.
he quitted at Man U at aged 25 at a time where he shd have reached his peak, but he didnt. U can say that 25 was his peak and he didnt realise his true potential. like a wayward genius. -
hey is he dead yet? no rite?
where you got the news he is dead from -

-
George Best is NOT DEAD..but doctors say his life is ending soon...hours are numbered...er..so u can actually more or less guess that he will pass away soon...which is by this yr most probably...

It's Official now: GEORGE BEST PASSED AWAY
George Best , the ex-Northern Ireland, Manchester United and Hibernian footballer, has died in hospital. The 59 year-old had been on a life support machine since last Friday.
Best was admitted to the Cromwell Hospital in west London on 1 October with flu-like symptoms. He developed a kidney infection and, after a brief improvement, his health deteriorated further. He was taken into intensive care after picking up a lung infection.
Best had suffered from years of alcohol abuse and three years ago underwent a liver transplant. However, he continued to drink.
Best asked that a picture of him in hospital be published as a warning to others about the dangers of alcohol abuse. The picture was published on the front page of the News of the World accompanied by the caption "Don't die like me".
Best is still regarded as one of the most talented players of all time. He scored 180 goals in 465 appearances for Manchester United and lifted the European Cup in 1968, the same year he was named European Footballer of the Year.
Towards the end of his career, Best came north with a move to Edinburgh club Hibernian. He played his first game in November 1979 against Partick Thistle before a crowd of 22,000 - vastly up on Hibs' usual home gate of 8,000-9,000. His time in Edinburgh was short-lived, however, lasting only until October 1980.
He retired from football at the age of 27.
