George Best, Quote.

Special Quote

"Half my money I spent on women, fast cars and booze - the rest I just squandered!"
.
George Best, 1946-2005.
.
Best scored 137 goals in 361 appearances for Manchester United, betwen 1963 and 1974.
.
He won 37 caps for Northern Ireland and was voted European Footballer of the Year in 1968.
.
He was widely regarded as the most breath-taking, skillful British footballer of his generation and will be mourned by football fans the world over.
.
The British press have been acting like vultures waiting for the time to devour the life of a once gifted, more recently alcholic sportsman; meanwhile largely ignored by the media, over 100,000 people are about to die in Kashmir because our modern 'high tech' world is unable to adequately react to the aftermath of the earthquake in October. One despairs at the priorities of the British national newspapers.

George Best was a victim of the evils of drink. A man of talent but no moral standards.

A soldier of the Salvaton Army in Scotland.
