Number 1 is Georgie Best

Looks like his days (hours) are numbered now. It's a very sad situation. He is arguably the best British player that's ever been produced. Unfortunately his imminent death is as a result of his own lifestyle. Sure, his death will not be directly as a result of alcohol but a result of his immune system being weakened because of the drugs he is taking to make his body not reject the new liver he was given because he destroyed his old one with alcohol abuse. It's a blunt way of saying it but true. He had a problem he couldn't control. At least he was gracious enough to allow a photo to be taken of him before he went into the IC unit to show what booze can do to you. I had hoped he would pull through but it looks now like it's just a matter of time.
