SOCCER legend George Best was trying to keep a low profile in Petersfield earlier this week despite hitting the headlines again. The former Manchester United star, 59, was pursued through the High Street by national press photographers on Monday morning. Sporting dark glasses which covered bruising on his face, he was quickly whisked away by a taxi. Best was widely reported to have had a violent argument with his girlfriend Ros Hollidge after spending Saturday at the Epsom Derby. The former Northern Ireland star and 37-year- old Mrs Hollidge left the racecourse separately but police were later called to her house in Surbiton, South West London. Best was reported to have been left soaked in blood after the attack and was taken to hospital by paramedics. Mrs Hollidge was arrested by the police and was released in the early hours of Sunday. Best eventually returned to Forest Mere health farm in Liphook and spent much of Monday in bars and a bookmakers in Petersfield, but refused to give any comment on the weekend incident. Best's agent Phil Hughes also refused to comment on the events of the weekend. Best had a lifesaving liver transplant four years ago but has continued to drink alcohol. He has been dating Mrs Hollidge since last July.
