He was one of the greatest soccerr players from Manchester Ireland. He had developed a drinking problem while still a player, and it contributed to his early retirement from top-level soccer. He was imprisoned in 1984 for drunk driving and assaulting a policeman and was unable to give up alcohol for any length of time. The condition of his liver deteriorated to the point where a transplant became necessary. The immuno-suppressive drugs given to prevent rejection of his new liver caused him to develop a serious kidney infection, which his doctors were unable to redress. In 2005, the infection caused him to fall into a coma. His final days were watched over by his father and other family members, and also by former football colleagues such as United's Denis Law. He died at the age of 59 and is buried in East Belfast.

The greatest soccer player of all time. A dude from Northern Ireland who played for Manchester United who once scored 6 goals in a game.

George Best was a 1960s British Soccer player who was very successful, and who then took all his money and partied himself to death.

Great soccer player who partied as hard as he played soccer. Played with Manchester United I believe. One of the best soccer players to come out of England. His liver could not keep up with his life style. Not to be confused with Pete Best, the fifth Beatle.
