George Best cannot continue to survive “day after day after day” without showing signs of improvement, his doctor said today.

George Best cannot continue to survive “day after day after day” without showing signs of improvement, his doctor professor Roger Williams said today.

Prof. Williams said Best was still a “desperately ill man” but was tough and was keeping himself alive.

The 59-year-old has been in intensive care since being struck down by a lung infection.

Prof. Williams said doctors had now stopped sedation and were waiting to see if Best regained consciousness.
