Let's try some math Guest. David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975. You feel that makes him 34? My calendar says January 2007.
Is there some odd sort of math being used in Europe that we do not know about?
Den & Strollin Johnny, I apologize for calling Best a drunk. That was uncalled for and I should never have used that word. I never put Beckham in the same catagory as Best or Pele. The point I was replying to was that someone said Pele came to the United States and failed. They also mentioned Best, and it was true - Best had no impact on the U.S. game. He was an alcholic and he had no interest in pursuing soccer.
While alcoholism is a disease, it can be cured. Perhaps cured is the wrong word too since you are always going to be an alcholic. I do not feel that writing it off to "disease" says enough. There are many people who have been helped because they have the fortitude and support system to recover. Best had more problems than just alcohol.
