 Nobby Stiles has Left the Pitch - Robin O'Reliant
Saw him several times when Man U visited West Ham. Tenacious little player who would never give up and spent ninety minutes snapping at the heels of opposition forwards like a Jack Russel on steroids.

Only four of the World Cup winning team left now.

Another footballer with dementia. Definitely seems a link to heading the ball.

I wonder what the percentage of former footballers with dementia is compared to the rest of the population?

Three and a half times as likely apparently.

With Nobby Styles, it wasn't the ball he was hitting with his head.
