Best shows signs of recovery

GEORGE BEST yesterday got out of his hospital bed and spoke to friends and family as doctors admitted he could leave intensive care within days.

The 59-year-old former football star spoke to sister Julie and girlfriend Ros Hollidge as his condition continued to improve at the Cromwell Hospital in south west London.

Doctors said Best, who is suffering from internal bleeding and kidney problems, was improving but friends warned the ex-Manchester United winger is in terrible pain.
