George Best's father dies

The father of footballing legend George Best died in hospital today.

Dickie Best, aged 88, was surrounded by his family as he passed away in the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald, Co Down.

His son George died in November 2005 after a long battle with alcoholism.

A family statement said: “Over the years, as everyone knows, Dad had his sorrows to bear but he faced them always with courage and dignity.

“He was a man who took great joy and pride in his family.

“He was an irreplaceable father whose bravery, integrity, wisdom and above all love shaped our lives.”

Mr Best, who lived in Burren Way on the Cregagh Estate in east Belfast, was admitted to hospital four weeks ago.
