Ebay Item #2785192105: George Best's Liver.: A 'must have' item for all true collectors of football memorabilia. This is the diseased liver recovered from the incinerator organ bin at London's Cromwell Hospital in July 2002. It has been in the freezer since then and is in perfect condition. Perfect in the sense that it is complete but it's obviously not suitable for transplant or for serving with bacon and onion gravy.

A loving history of Best and his liver. It also looks like Bestie's replacement liver might be coming up for auction soon. Fry up the onions!

So, anyone taking bets on how quickly this auction is pulled?

pulled by the seller it seems, not by ebay. maybe george best bought it back but didn't have an ebay id.

Nothing says 'I love you' more to your footie-lovin' significant other on this Valentines other than George Best's liver.
