@Jack David Im not apologising for him, it was entirely his fault, but it is a pity because who knows when is going to be born in England another Gascoigne level of talent? perhaps never. England is not like Argentina or brazil, or even Portugal or Italy or spain, where you get great players every 20, 30 years, in England the talent is not there, so when occasionally it appears you gotta take advantage because it'll probably never come again

George Best is wide of the mark when he mentions the fast cars and sex. Those didn't harm him at all. It was the drink and other substances that ruined him
English media destroys all their best players.. especially the ones WHO are the top top players rooney gazza rio sterling and the list goes on. Rooney Englands greatest ever footballer isnt as respected in his country as he should be because nr1 he played for utd who are hated in england nr 2 the media
George should have given advice about drinking. Like- "Just look at me now, and that's what will happen if you let alcohol dominate your life like I did" That advice could still save someone from slowly killing themself . Staying out after 11pm with beautiful girls and driving them to where they want - fine.
Best and Gazza had so much natural ability that even with the booze they were world class. An example of someone with that natural ability along with healthy living is Ronaldo.
What a pass, with the outside of his right foot. Gascoigne was a fantastic, world class player. He was beaten by the demons inside. Tragic. Best and Maradonna suffered in a similar fashion. Maybe it has something to do with genius.
The media had a lot to do with the downfall of Gazza. But me personally think the people around him didn’t help. Still think he should of signed for Man United. In my opinion I really think Alex Ferguson would have helped beat gazza demons.
I’d say it was mainly his boozing and lack of willingness to change that caused his massive decline, although the media didn’t help with their slandering of characters.
What the press tried to destroy was the recipe for recovery that springs naturally out of the grassroots- which is so clearly evident in all of George Best's character. Radical acceptance, Love, Accountability, Kindness, Self-responsibility. He oozes it all. What an absolute stunner of a character - From a City fan.
You need to watch the BBC documentary on him pal. You'll have a different view then. I'd forgotten Sheryl was mates with Rebekah Brooks and was feeding her information. Murdoch must have been laughing.
Alex Ferguson talked about how he wishes he'd been able to sign Gascoigne. Because there were several Geordies at Utd who would have taken care of him.
Best was only 44 here. Looks like he’s nearly 60. Shows what it all does to you
Very bloated. A true legend and missed.

Not the women or going out for the evening.
It's the drink. Definitely the drink.
Remember pretending to be George Best kicking a football growing up in Northern Ireland
I do wonder if George had mental health problems how sad
Bit pathetic. Best destroyed himself, nothing to do w media
A legend and wisdom speaking.
Love gazza ,but destroyed himself,he didnt need anybody ,
Gazza was destroyed by the media everything George Best said happened he sure knew how Gazza was going to be treated…
A true nice guy
George got it spot on!
Whatever anyone says, it was the media that nearly destroyed Gazza!
I'm saying nearly only because he is still alive today.
I’d say it was mainly his boozing and lack of willingness to change that caused his massive decline, although the media didn’t help with their slandering of characters.
Live healthy..health is wealth george was a talent but dumb for living wrong now he is where?
And was destroyed the best English player an they fucked him up unreal player r heroe as a kid
George Best might be a legend of the sport, but came across as a very shallow man.

99% of people will only ever dream of coming anywhere near to this man's intellect and decency.
Gazza was destroyed by his own excesses and his apparent inability to curb them. The media merely reported on those excesses...
