A website set up to raise money for research into liver disease following the death
of George Best has won an award in the BT GoldenEye T Awards, a Northern Ireland
awards scheme for excellence in IT. 
Georgebest.com was designed by local company
idreamproducts.com for the George Best Foundation which was set up after the death
of the local sporting great in 2005. As well as raising money for liver research
the foundation will fund research into alcoholism and promote youth soccer.

allowing online donations, George Best fans can download a tribute song for £2 with
all proceeds going to the foundation.
