Diagnosed with Dementia. Sad news and at such a young age.

He was the guest speaker at our Sportsman's Dinner last year. Nice bloke.

Sad to hear this. It’s an awful illness. Think Dean Windass still lives in my village. Not seen him in ages.

Horrendous.

Let's hope these modern treatments stem the deterioration.

He’s taken the news well.

It really is sad that in the future he will probably not be able to remember his play off winner.

Extremely tough times ahead for him and those around him.
Good to see he’s kept a sense of humour around it.

He's a very similar age to my dad when he first started with dementia. Somehow my dad got to 67 before he passed away. Awful to get such a young diagnosis.
