Sad news for the soccer world today. Manchester United legend George Best died in West London this afternoon after struggling with his life for the past week in the hospital. Born in Belfast, Best played for United from 1963 to 1974 and his finest hour came in 1968 when the Red Devils became the first English club to win the European Cup. Best made 180 goals in 474 appearances for United and also won two league championships, in 1965 and 1967. Naturally athletic, tough, confident and blessed with genius, his career was one of the brightest stars of its generation. His gifts were legendary. For the goals, the audacious dribbles and all the wonderful memories, Manchester United and its legions of fans worldwide will always be grateful. Best died at 12.55pm, a hospital spokesman said. He had suffered multiple organ failure. He spent his final hours in hospital surrounded by his loved ones. His family, including son Calum, 24, and father Dickie, 87, had kept an all-night vigil at his bedside.

Best was admitted to Cromwell Hospital on October 1 suffering from a flu-like infection. His health deteriorated rapidly when he developed a kidney infection, but he then rallied and his condition was thought to be improving until the early hours of Friday last week when he suffered a severe setback. He developed a lung infection and was put back on a ventilator in intensive care, but remained alert. His condition deteriorated further on Wednesday night after which his consultant, Professor Roger Williams, said there was no longer anything doctors could do.

Hai, I'm not a Man Utd fan, but everytime a soccer great dies, it's a loss to the footballing world. I had never seen Best played cos i wasn't born then. But being the one to help Man Utd win its 1st of two European Cups, Best must have been a real talented player. This weekend, soccer players around the world will mourn for his death for one minute b4 starting each match. The players will also wear a black band around their arm. Rest In Peace..

Weekdays have ended, weekend next. November is coming to an end. Christmas is coming. I'm hearing Christmas carols everywhere now, but who am I going to spend it with? No Idea...
