No wonder my post count..
Goddamn. I instantly thought of this forum when I heard his name mentioned again - he never played for us, but gave us so many good memories with the speculation!
For all you LTLF noobs, have a read through this thread. It mostly centers around us thinking we were ever so close to signing him and Pratley (and Pratley's dog)

Desperately sad news, in amongst all the other depressing news in the world today.
RIP young lad. You were some player with a wand of a left foot that I wish we'd signed.

It is such sad news.
Admired him as a player.
Wish he'd played for us.

Such a thin line between life and death.
Sometimes I wonder how we all survive for so long.
Echo thoughts above. Though he was not ever our player, it just feels as if he was. Fine player, good lad by repute and my thoughts are with his desperately unlucky family.

Alcoholism is a disease, with serious consequences for the individual and his/her family.
I write with feeling as my brother in law, a highly regarded doctor, has suffered from it all his life.
It is no joking matter.

The last thing I want to do is spoil anyone’s fun. I enjoy a drink myself.
However, there is a very fine line between heavy social drinking and alcoholism.
For anyone who is concerned that they may have crossed that line Alcoholics Anonymous is a superb organisation and offers great support to those in need.
It doesn’t matter what class of society you belong to or how successful in life you are, you may be vulnerable to this dreadful disease which can destroy individuals and families if it is not addressed.

He has always fell in to situations where he could drink all day. His first job at 15 was collecting money from and fixing gaming machines / jukeboxes in boozers. So he’d drive round all day having a jar in every pub. Then he got a job doing the same on the Irish ferries. Then he met and Irish lass, married her and ran a pub in a rural Irish town. I remember whenever he came over for Christmas we had to get extra beer in as he’d do in a crate on his own, and everything else going, then drive my grandma home.
When I was a good drinker myself I used to love going out with him as he’d drink us all in to oblivion and he’d be egging us all on and throwing money about. He always ate loads as well, full English, pub lunch, curry for tea and about 20 pints every single day and he’s still going strong at 73.

I still maintain controlled drinking is good for you, it's relaxing, and there have been plenty of suggestions red wine is actually good for you *necks more shiraz*
The issue is when you're dependent on it - and that's different from liking a drink or drinking a lot. You could be dependent on a shot of brandy when you get home from work.
The real problem is if you want to stop and can't, or if your need to drink impedes your ability to work or whatever...
As for Whittingham, I heard a rumour Marthur was still trying to sign him

Uncle Malcolm says you are only an alcoholic if you drink alone at home. Anything else means you aren’t. So that is official.

My father-in-law was an alcoholic and it was always tough to cope with him. Personally I think the 'it's a disease' statement is a crutch to avoid responsibility for the actions taken. He made the life of everyone around him miserable but never accepted any blame.
If it's a disease then treat it as such, isolate from others and manage it until you cure the patient. In this case forcibly remove them from the environment and actually wean them off the booze rather than offering 'support' that they can choose to ignore.
Alcohol is a great social lubricant but alcoholism just destroys the person and all those around them.
