George Best on life support after health deteriorates

Advertisements [?]

The health of the former Northern Ireland and Manchester United footballer George Best, who has been fighting an infection in hospital for the last three weeks, has "deteriorated dramatically", his ex-wife said last night.

Best, 59, had a life-saving liver transplant in 2002 following well-documented drinking problems but the infection is said not to be directly linked to alcohol.

He is being treated at the private Cromwell hospital in west London, where it is thought he is suffering from internal bleeding and is on life support.
