He got given a new kidney or whatever it was and still carried on drinking so it's kind of his fault

[Anflex]

Hmm, I agree. It is his own fault, but saying that he doesn't deserve to die and still deserves respect in his last hours. Well thats why I think anyway.

This may seem harsh to you but I fully believe he does.
There could have been someone under him on that list for the liver transplant who would have lived a fuller life, they didn't drink and waste their liver as he has done. So in a way; he could have killed 2 people with his stupidic lifestyle. Himself and someone else who could have had that liver.
Personally I couldn't give a damn about him anymore, he's had everyones help and he just throws it all away..

[ross]

It's his own fault. He had the chance to quit, but he didn't.

He's an example that they will use to try and get into peoples minds than binge drinking CAN and WILL kill you.

If he survives, he sruvives - I personally hope he doesn't. He doesn't deserve anymore of his life, he's wasted everything. He can't change the past and his future has nothing going on.

[JT-Fan]

He was given the blessing of getting a kidney transplant. People out there have not caused illness's themselves and need a kidney. His was self caused.

[Rarelime]

I don't have any sympathy for the man. He bought it all on himself, and it's his own fault he's going to die.

[Anger]

He got himself in that state so its his own fault attension seeking pig, only himself could of stopped it and he didnt so tough luck to him

[JT-Fan]

^^ Yeah. He could've stopped it himself, but he didn't. Look where it got him.

[-Acidic]

People who Damage their Body Dont Get Treatment at Hospitals Eg Overweight
But When George Best Wants Treatment, He Gets It!
Its His Own Fault.

[JT-Fan]

The overwieght thing just came into action today :l.

[FrozenWhisper]

To be honest his fault. He abused his body so it gave in. I agree someone that didn't drink too much could have had that liver.

[Steven.]

I got to agree with the others, think of someone who could of had more life with that liver.

He drunk again, he deserve's it, tbh i don't really care if he dies now as he just abused the right of life.

[Eamonn]

I don't have any sympathy for the man. He bought it all on himself, and it's his own fault he's going to die.

Excacly he had a chance to change it all but he did'nt take it unlike over people who would jump at the chance

[JT-Fan]

Yeah -50. There are people who have serious illnesses which are not self-inflicted. Yet they wait whilst someone who drank his life away gets it and carries on drinking. I like drink but in moderation, not like 1000 pints a day!

[Rebuild]

Despite the fact it was his fault I feel sorry for him. It's not like an addiction is something you can easily stop. I feel sorry for his family too. It must be a horrible ordeal for them and it's never nice to lose a family member.

[Dupion]

It's his own fault, if he knows he has kidney problems why do it? I have no sympathy for him as it's his own fault.

[JT-Fan]

He should have learnt to moderate his drink. And he is rich and can afford like proffesional help. And theres AA.

[Biseinen]

Some stars don't want help... They just want to be alone and think of the 'Glory Days'.

[Anger]

Drink problems arent easy to over come rupsie, just think about all the harrassment a star gets they cant lead a normal life due to fans and things, but still he went stupid and over did himself

[JT-Fan]

Yeah you got a point. They said he is going to die in the next 2-3 hours.

[Anflex]

He's still hanging on in there.

I do agree with what many of you have said, that he brought it on himself, and the liver could have and perhaps should have gone to someone else. But I still can't help thinking its sad that he's about to die. Even if it was someone not-famous I'd still feel like this.

heh, cheesey huh?

I mean it's someones life, and the fact that he was one of, if not THE best footballer we had, it just makes it that more... whats the word? .... I wouldnt say upsetting as such, but sad :(

[JT-Fan]

aii get wot u mean sfe.

[Tyed]

He Is A Alcoholic He Tried 2 Stop Drinking But He Coudnt Even The Alcohol Pelats In His Stomach Coudnt Help His Addiction Stop I Agree Maybe He Could Of Done More But It Eint His Fault Really

[danny1541]

Forgive me if im been harsh here but anyone who has a second chance and ruins it deserves to die yes he may have a problem but he didnt try to stop selfish really more sorry for his family than him..

I agree. He was given a new liver that someone else could have had, and he's just gone and done the same thing again.
His own fault.

[Middlesbrough]
