    Probably a toss up between Mo Mowlam and Karol Wojtyla for the work they've dedicated their lives to.

    Richard Whiteley for me to be honest. That's just because the thread title asks "who will you miss the most?". The biggest legend was RIchard Pryor.

    Richard Prior
    Robin Cook
    Ronnie Barker
    Rosa Parks...

    What's weird is, and these are the people I will genuinely miss, their first names all begin with 'R'... Odd.

    May they Rest in Peace.

    Hunter S. Thompson, ****ed up cookie but u gotta love him
    Richard Pryor, what a funny funny guy
    mo mowlam, great lady
    Richard Whitley great man "**** for 7" ill never forget that :D

    tbh i wont be missing george best, i know several people who could have benifited more from that kidney than him, anyone who wastes a second chance like that deserves it IMO.

    George Best,George Best,George Best,George Best,George Best,George Best,George Best

    why the hell are people saying george best..... HONESTLY

    he was a frickin bum, a waster, an alcoholic, selfish and a waster(yes i know i already said that but its doubly important)

    he got a second chance and wasted it. someone else could of had that liver and still be alive today....

    and to those who will say: 'oh but it wasn't the drink that killed him, it was the infection'

    complete bull ****, come on... really.... miss him...... i think he is where he belongs.

    oh and the irony of him to actually say he wanted to donate his organs.....

    all that was usable was his frickin cornea's

    plus he didnt even have a long successful career.

    so gearge best as someone who was an influence or a legend????

    dont think so.. hope all he is remembered for is being an alcoholic waster:mad:
