I used to have a pin up of him inside my desk at school. He was a brilliant footballer.

Yes he was an alcoholic and I won't enter into a discussion as to whether or not it was right to have a liver transplant. I have no idea how much of a struggle it is for an alcoholic to give up drinking but I've seen smokers try and fail to give up smoking and know that isn't easy. It's easy enough to criticise when you don't have the problem yourself but I do have problems of my own and therefore would never put down someone whose challenges are different to mine.

May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted.
