George Best 1946-2005.
Died today 25/11/05 just after 1pm.
Tomorrow, game will go ahead as long as it passes pitch inspection in the morning. Barrie has cut the grass.
We also have 15 players! Surely now, there can be no room for complacency.
15 players? that means someone isn't even going to get a game. bugle tonight anyone? not me, im stayin' in the nice and warm!
may come and watch tomorrow though, so please perform and score some goals for me.
RIP George, you will be sorely missed! I was reading in the paper about him today, and some of the stories almost brought a tear to my eye, a very emotional day indeed.
