it's so nice to read the charitable comments made about a flawed genius......people in glasshouses eh?

what is at the end of the day that alcholism is still not recognised as an illness, yes he was given a chance but who hasn't in life

in my opinion the best player ever to wear boots in this country, maybe his club did not look after him the same way as they do nowadays

he's hanging on at the mo but gods speed my man, condolences to his family RIP

Sorry but I also have no sympathy for him after he was given a second chance which someone else could have used!

Yeti, I didn't say he was dead, just paying respects, maybe I worded it wrongly, but the sentiment remains the same. It wasn't meant to offend, just that usually we say these things too late to say.

Having had dinner with him and chatting to him for the evening, he is actually a very nice bloke as well as being a legend on the pitch.

He's certainly not been "careful" with his second chance, but then that was the kind of guy he was, and the world will be a much sadder place without people like that.

I've found answers to the 2 first questions, but I still don't understand what was wrong with him. Did he get a liver which could haved another life or something like this?

Sorry about that. I didn't want to hurt you. And I will never take the p..s (whatever it means) out of a dying man, could he be Brit, French or Nigerian. Just trying to understand why that person is creating so different reactions to all of you. Must be a complex topic.
