The next 24 hours will be critical for football legend George Best's survival, the doctor treating him has said.

*

George Best is on a life support machine

Professor Roger Williams said Best, 59, was stable but had made no significant improvement since he was placed on a ventilator after being struck down by a lung infection.

He said: "He is holding, that's what I can say. His condition really hasn't changed since yesterday."

But he added: "I would like to have seen some very definite improvement in this last 24 hours.

"So I think the next 24 hours is going to be critical as to whether he's going to make it or not."

Prof Williams added that Best's family were saying "swear words, good words, bad words, anything to poke a reaction from him", but Best remained heavily sedated and was not communicating with those around him.

I would have thought shouting "Pub's open" would have had more chance. I am naturally crossing my fingers and hoping the machine can be turned off soon.

That sounds bad doesn't it, what I meant was I hope his family won't have to visit him much longer.

No that's not right either, you know what I mean
