George Best dies, aged 59.
George Best has passed away this afternoon at the age of 59. After the dust has settled and the tragic elements of Best's life are forgotten, he will be remembered for his sheer brilliance on the football pitch. Best recently expressed hope his drinking would not come to define him after his death.But his iconic status was gained by his unrivalled sporting genius, and it is that genius which has remained at the heart of the contry's fascination with Best.
We can only hope that the excesses of the legends lifestyle are not completely forgotten, that they might serve as an example to young stars in the future who find themselves thrust into a world of money and glamour.
May he rest in peace.
