Shrine to Best grows at ground

MANCHESTER was a city in mourning last night as thousands of football fans paid tribute to George Best.

An adopted son of the city, Best arrived as a shy Belfast teenager and became a football legend playing for Manchester United.

At Old Trafford under the shadow of a statue Sir Matt Busby, the man who nurtured his talent, a makeshift shrine to Best was growing steadily as hundreds of fans, many in tears, came to pay their respects.
