From the Telegraph UK:
Michael Browne's creation has the late Manchester United player, [George Best] famous for his drinking and womanising as well as his skill as a footballer, as a Christ-like figure standing outside the gates of Heaven.Chris Edmundson, the Bishop of Bolton, protested. Of course, he did.
The artist has previously courted controversy with a painting showing former Manchester United player Eric Cantona as Christ and an image of current players Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney standing shoulder to shoulder with Winston Churchill.
