One of my good friends used to use that pub with George very regularly; they used to play pool together. Evidentially George was a very unassuming guy and quite shy. My friend on a few occasions used to introduce some of our joint friends to George if they were in the vicinity and the only advice he gave them was to speak with George about anything other than football.
George was one of the very first if not the first footballing mega stars, albeit he had a relatively short career, he was obviously very shy when he came over from Ireland, probably used the alcohol to alleviate his shyness and of course he did not have the support that the professional footballers have now, if of course they wish to take it.
RIP George.
