'Stable night' for Best
22/11/2005 - 08:52:13George Best has briefly opened his eyes in hospital but is not yet awake, his agent said today.
Phil Hughes said the former Manchester United star had a stable night but was still critically ill.
The 59-year-old has been in intensive care in the Cromwell Hospital, west London, after he was struck down by a lung infection.
Mr Hughes said: “He’s had a stable night. Nothing much has changed, which in itself is good news.
“Last night he briefly opened his eyes for a second but he’s not awake.
“They are still waiting for him to come round.”
Yesterday afternoon, doctors stopped sedation and were waiting to see if the ex-Northern Ireland player regained consciousness.
