    Sublime football player. Good looking boy. Had it all. Ended up as understudy to @A.L.D.O 4.1 . What, they asked, went wrong?

    Got to shag lots of good looking birds though, all the way to the boneyard.

    Although leaning towards 'The Jambos' I had great days out with my Hi-bees supporting friends from Leith when Best signed up for Hibernian FC. A trip to Greenock springs to mind when our behaviour on the rattler from Glasgow to Greenock was f****n' shocking. We missed the last train back to Edinburgh from Glasgow so after reaching 03.00 at 'the dancing' we only had a few hours to squander before the first Sunday train back to Auld Reekie.

    Happy and carefree days which thank f**k are now well in the past; still missing the last and catching the wrong trains however this mostly takes place in Bayern and Nordrhein-Westfalen!

    Great player but turned into a **** ...

    Got a second chance at life and ****ed it .

    Pretty sad to see "friends" and agents ignoring his problem . His agents made cash out of him dying !

    He was an intelligent guy, he wasn't like Gazza. He knew what he was doing.

    He still turned into a **** and wasted his second chance (somebody else's second chance)

    He described it as having too much too soon ... he achieved everything he could in football by 22 .
