No further action is to be taken against former soccer star George Best after his arrest over allegations he indecently assaulted a young girl and assaulted a woman, police said on Tuesday.

"After we received the allegations and arrested a 59-year-old man, we carried out a full investigation and consulted the Crown Prosecution Service," a Surrey police spokesman said.
