Eamon Dunphy has opened up on his friendship with the Manchester United legend
Football pundit Eamon Dunphy has revealed how he once tried to get George Best to ditch the booze – by smoking a spliff with him.
Dunphy, 79, was a lifelong friend of Best after the pair first came through the youth ranks at Man Utd together back in the 1950s. He said Best, who died at the age of 59 in 2005, was actually a very shy person who had used alcohol to hide that.Dunphy, who will turn 80 next year, recalled meeting up with Best in the months leading up to his death, and was sad to see that he was still drinking.
"I was drinking bottles of lager, which was my thing, but I had a couple of spliffs and I said to him, 'George, you shouldn't be drinking that stuff, that f**king stuff is killing you. Have a spliff.'" "You don't think, 'I hope I'll be happy someday down the road.' You better get happy now, baby, because there ain't going to be a 'down the road'."
