Thread Name: Belfast city Airport. /George Best
Subject: RE: Belfast city Airport. /George Best
That´s the city Airport in east Belfast . Belfast International Airport is actually in Antrim, not that close to the city, flying into it in morning. The plan was to name the West link in Belfast after George Best. It links the M1 to the M2 motorways. Great idea as it´s always blocked !
The man was a great footballer, but made a fool out of himself in later years. One can only recall Jack Doyle and Alex Higgins, but neither wasted a human organ. Sadly too many forget that side of his life and see the re runs of a goal he scored in 1969.
A family signed a form to allow their loved ones organ to be given to this man, never forget that. When you watch a family say goodbye to their son, daughter, father or mother for the last time as the go for the removal of their liver to give someone else a life, it puts the image of George Best into focus.
