2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

What will the drinks industry do now??...they've lost one of their great icons....apparently he was also very good with a football Wink

Seriously though it's a shame that doctors hadnt treated him better for his alcohol addiction.....if so he may never had to endure all those operations and undignified end to his 'colourful' life!

I hope he's at peace now Smile

He's probably propping up the Big Bar In the Sky... commenting on the size of the bar-angel's jugs, I would imagine Wink

Sorry if this sounds callous, but he brought it on himself didn't he?

I'm tired of hearing about his 'troubles'. Just cos he was a footballer...

I know he was, don't dispute that, but look what the BBC says about him in the end, just so you don't forget..

"But despite his talent, his love of a champagne and playboy lifestyle degenerated into alcoholism, bankruptcy, a prison sentence for drink-driving and, eventually, his controversial liver transplant. " L319 D4 HSE

Oh yeah, he was no angel but I don't think that was any secret. I hate football too (there's a theme coming out here!) and have no personal fondness for the bloke, but I don't think he was under any misapprehension about the fact the he'd done all this to himself. He was a nightmare to live with too by all accounts - didn't he get caught beating his wife up at one point? Either way, I suppose when someone dies it's more fitting to celebrate the good side of someone than their bad side. Mind you, let's see what happens when someone like Saddam Hussein or Bin Liner dies.. I doubt there'll be a BBC "comedy tribute"...
