Soccer: Tributes to George Best

All soccer matches in Northern Ireland have been postponed to mark the funeral of George Best, the country's most famous player, the Irish Football Association said yesterday.

The 59-year-old Manchester United winger, who died last week, will be buried in his home town of Belfast after a funeral service at Stormont, the seat of Northern Ireland's parliament.
Up to half a million people are expected to gather in Stormont to pay their respects.
