Manchester United fans pay tribute to club icon George Best.

He was the Ronaldo of his day, and ten years on from his death Manchester United have paid tribute to one of the club's greatest sons, George Best. 

The dancing winger, who hailed from Belfast in Northern Ireland, was one of football's first superstars, but - as is so often the case - was also a flawed genuis. 

Best, who died at the age of 59 as a result of liver failure after years of alcohol abuse, is nevertheless fondly remebered by football fans globally. 

And what better way to pay tribute than by lighting up Old Trafford's Theatre of Dreams during Manchester United's 0-0 draw with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Well played.
