  • George Best lobs the arrers for charity, and Jim Bowen does a piece to camera while the audience members pass around a large Tupperware box of sandwiches behind him. Classic Bully.

    Brilliant stuff and very good of George to put more money to the charity. I saw Alex Higgins win a computer once and without hesitation he gave it to the kids from a school watching the exhibition snooker match. Two geniuses, both flawed, both missed and true gentleman especially when sober. RIP to both Legends and we will never see their like again.

You would have thought that George might have set a precedent for all darts players that didn’t get above 301…….but I don’t remember anyone else ever chipping in with their own cash for the charity. Bestie was pure class!

      Monstersince, he went from a shy 15 year old with no money basicly to a loaded rich superstar in two years and it got worse. He had no guidance, no protection, a dont even think some one set up a pension fund for him, as they were to busy taking what they could of him. He wasnt stupid but when your in with the kind of money men who are trainend in how to make money by using some one elses money. Really they are con men and george wouldnt have stood a chance against these sharks. And yes he was a lost soul that just happend to like drink, and alcohol is an illness once you take that first drink an alcoholic will keep on drincking. And george would have felt deep shame after that liver transplant once he started again he just got worse. Guilt, plus constant harrasment from the press every day. No wonder he drank himself into the grave basicly. A wonder if he thought the press would have been so bad about it in the way they were? Plus the public even leaving there names and what area there from when they slated george in the press. I remember going into my local shop and he was on the front of every news paper. And a mean at least 8 of them had georges name on the front page of every paper. Surely that was out of order, and for what taking a drink. Ffs even 9/11 didnt get that much news coverage. And how did they know what he was drinking and how much. But no becouse hes seen in a pub thats enough for them.
