Dementia-suffering former Premier League star Dean Windass has told of his upset at being ‘blackballed’ after he applied for membership of a prestigious golf club.
The former striker was a Hull City hero whose iconic Wembley goal secured the Tigers' historic promotion to the Premier League in 2008.
Windass is now coming to terms with his Stage 2 dementia diagnosis, and was hoping to play regular golf as a form of therapy.
But the 54-year-old ex-striker, known for his blunt Yorkshire charm as much as his on-pitch prowess, was left stunned after his application to join the exclusive £1,200 a year Hull Golf Club was turned down without explanation.
