Best still fighting for life in intensive care unit

SOCCER legend George Best was last night continuing to battle for life as the doctor in charge of his care said: “We are not giving up.”

Professor Roger Williams, who oversaw alcoholic Best’s controversial liver transplant in 2002, said the 59-year-old had an unexplained bowel infection, which was causing complications to his treatment, but stressed he remained in a stable condition.

The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star is in intensive care at the private Cromwell Hospital in London and is suffering from internal bleeding.
