Always bugs me that Richard Burns death was almost overlooked in the press because a washed up, drunk, former footballer died on the same day having effectively drunk himself to death, this was despite having had a liver transplant that could have gone to someone a lot more deserving, fully prepared to be shot down by a load of football supporters now who think he was a legend.

google if you trust it says 25/11/05 for both of them , Richard death was tragic , George Best RIP too , had as you said two bites of the cherry which is very lucky in life and threw it away , and as you said deprived another of a chance of life , top of the donor list because he was a celebrity ?
