--------------------------------- [5] Bestie latest --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 25, 2001 by bar-knee: >From Ananova 'George Best is continuing to recover from a stomach complaint in a Cyprus hospital. He fell ill while on holiday with his wife Alex. His manager says he is expected to be released in the next few days. Best is believed to have contracted a mystery virus from an air conditioning unit. His manager, Philip Hughes, says the 55-year-old is more susceptible to illness after being weakened by years of heavy drinking. "I'm sure if you or I had picked up the same virus we wouldn't be as ill," he said. "George was made well aware by his doctor that it was never a case of just stopping drinking and that would be it. "He said it would take at least two years. He has been 12 months without a drink and he has no intention of having another one." Mr Hughes says Best will either fly straight back to England or spend a couple more days on the island when he leaves hospital. He will be back in London for his television commitments next weekend. Best fell ill in the southern resort of Limassol. Doctors at the private clinic say his stomach virus has nothing to do with his liver or alcohol. Mr Hughes says Best is "as happy as he could be".' --------------------------------- [4] Get well Guy --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 25, 2001 by bar-knee: We would like to wish Guy Roux a good recovery.

When it comes true I will be honoured. From when I was nine I had a dream and that dream was Manchester United. I'm honest about that. I definitely want to play there one day.
