‘George Best's condition is improving three weeks after the former Manchester United star was hospitalized with a liver infection.

‘"He's doing very well," his agent Phil Hughes said Monday. "He's a lot better than when he went into the hospital." The 59-year-old Best has been recovering in the private Cromwell Hospital in west London and was expected to remain in intensive care for a few more days, Hughes said.’
