Minute’s silence at all Premiership matches

THERE will be a minute’s silence before every Premiership match this weekend following Best’s death.

A spokesman for the Premier League said: “In light of the sad news of George Best passing away referees have been requested to conduct a one minute’s silence prior to the kick-off at all of this weekend’s Premier League matches.

The silence will be especially poignant at Upton Park where Manchester United take on West Ham tomorrow.
