George Best admitted to hospital

George Best is back in hospital and believed to be suffering from pneumonia.

It is understood the 54-year-old was admitted on Friday night, apparently suffering from breathing difficulties.

Best's manager Phil Hughes said the former footballer was "poorly", but his condition is not life threatening.

A spokesperson for Belfast City Hospital said she could not comment on his condition.

Last March the former soccer star was admitted to hospital in London with liver problems and warned to stay off alcohol for good.

Best and his wife Alex have a home near the Co Down fishing village of Portavogie.
