George Best - "I would be very surprised if he survives another 24 hours."

George Best's health has taken a severe turn for the worse and he is "coming to the end of the long road of his ill health," according to the doctor treating him.

Professor Roger Williams said Best, who is on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at the private Cromwell Hospital in west London, could die at any time. "He's still alive," he told reporters, "he's still having standard medical care and treatment, but I have to tell you that his hours are numbered now."

To all DU soccer fans, and sports fans in general, please spare a thought or say a prayer for the man for whom the term "flawed genius" could have been invented.

Sad...........
