Looks like the end for Besty

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

This may seem a bit hash, but he made his choices so pays the price.
Re: Looks like the end for Besty
Not being callous or anything but I'm struggling to see why anyone really cares that much?
Brilliant footballer never really delivers full potential in all too short career, spends next 30 years drunk, dies.
No doubt we are going to have a Diana style day of national mourning, but...

Re: Looks like the end for Besty
He deserves our sympathy why? He ruined his own liver, then gets a new one and ruins it. Somebody else should have gotten that liver besides Best.
Re: Looks like the end for Besty
Although I've not really felt any sympathy up until now, the thought of his lungs filling up with blood is quite sad really, not a nice way for anyone to die. Of course he brought it on himself, but its still unpleasant.
Re: Looks like the end for Besty
Well I can't remember the thread asking to sympathize with him but BKB is correct to state that it isn't the best(sic) way to die (is there one?).....but what a footballer. I was lucky enough to see him play in person in the early 70's ( I was afflicted by an MUFC Grandad..it ok now though I support BWFC, I am cured)..
One of the greats of the game and a character. Alcoholism is a disease and should be seen as one. To denigrate the man just because he suffered from alcoholism is petty and peevish. I agree though, given his history, another recipitant should have received the transplanted liver.

Re: Looks like the end for Besty
Besty is the best example of how alcoholism can destroy your life. One of the best and most talented footballers, drink and drugs buggered up his career and his health.
I only hope none of the other greats end up the way bestie has
Re: Looks like the end for Besty
Who is denigrating him just because he was an alcoholic? They are all valid comments and more often you see diefication just because they died, see Dianna.Originally Posted by InsaneApache

Once he dies then open a sympathy thread, people who don't feel the same will simply avoid posting, but until then all I see if honest opinions.
