Rest in peace, George..... the first (imho) golden wonderboy of football. Later at home I shall read your book ''Blessed'' again. Joy

Hope he finds peace, whoever his god is.

BBC just announced the death of George Best. Maddy

God Bless George and his family,

Illness is a consequence of an unhealthy lifestyle, not a punishment. Who are we to make judgements against other people? Susan

The words from the song 'My Way' seem very appropriate now George comes to the end of the battle. His life has been quite a battle one way or another, since those first successful years. I wish him comfort and peace in these last hours of life.

God Bless George

This is a brilliant Tribute site to the greatest player ever GEORGE BEST http://www(.)compusmart.ab.ca/icorry/BESTPage.htm Paul

Go show them how to play football in heaven George. God Bless You and your family. Pat

I know what it is like, sitting there waiting, at a hospital bedside. I feel so much for his family and friends. Joy ''Football legend George Best is losing his battle for life, his doctor says. Professor Roger Williams said: 'I am afraid Mr Best is coming to the end of the long road of his ill-health.'' Speaking outside London's Cromwell Hospital, he told reporters: 'He is still alive, he is still having standard medical care and treatment, but I have to tell you that his hours are numbered now and it's all very upsetting for all of us who look after Mr Best.'' Prof Williams added: 'I can't be precise as to time, but it is the final stages of this illness and I am afraid he could die at any time over the next 24 hours. 'I would be very surprised if he survives another 24 hours.'' Clearly upset, Prof Williams, who has been overseeing Best's treatment, said: 'The situation is that, medically, the intensive care team and everybody concerned have managed to cope with pretty well all the complications except the one that's happened again during the night, which you know about, this bleeding, which, though it has been replaced, is now affecting the lungs and other parts. 'There is really no return from that situation. It's just not possible to recover from that episode he had during the night and he is now facing.'' Best's son, Calum, 24, his father, Dickie, 87, and other family members are at his bedside. Prof Williams said: 'I think they accept what is going to happen.''''

george is in his final hours,he wont be suffering,he will slip quietly away. may god give his family,and friends the strength needed. bryan.

A sad time for George's family and friends and for the staff at the hospital who have got to know him as a friend not just as a patient. May your God go with you, George. Joy

This man may have abused his status but you know what,he is going to die.Just like you and me.He should be allowed to do that with some dignity.Even if he survived another two weeks,what quality of life,if you could call it a life,would he have.The best thing they could do for him is make him as comfortable as possible and let him go .If you lived the carefree life he has,would you be happy now being dependant on others.Especially at such a young age.I will say a prayer,and a heartfelt one at that,that he passes quickly and without pain.

said on the news he could die in the next 24hrs...such a shame.this is what the dreaded booze can do to you....xxxx)))):

he has made such a huge impact on his medical team - the professor was so upset that he had to leave the press conference - what a tribute both to George and to the staff at the Cromwell Maz. XX

My thoughts are with him and his family and friends, so very sad! Lib xx

god bless him! he's bleeding internally again,it really doesn't look good. thoughts and prayers to george,and family. bryan.
