Brendon Ormsby has been told he's living with CTE, with the 61-year-old former Aston Villa and Leeds United centre back currently struggling and in need of help.
Sportsmail interviewed the Ormsby family at their home in Selby, North Yorkshire in October 2019. His loving wife, Wendy, who cares for him full-time, revealed how a stroke in 2013 meant he could no longer speak.
Tragically the only two things Brendon could say fluently at that time were 'Aston Villa' and 'Leeds United', and he has deteriorated further since that interview three years ago.
A 'Leeds legends night' will be held in Elland Road's Norman Hunter suite on Thursday March 3 to raise money for Brendon, who was a wholehearted centre back in his heyday.
