Dean Windass has revealed he has been diagnosed with stage two dementia.
The former striker, now 55, told Mail Sport he was given the devastating news 12 months ago and is now taking things ‘a day at a time’.
On a day when a group of high-profile former players launched a campaign calling on the Premier League, FA and PFA to set up a fund to help with care costs for former players amid a surging crisis, the Hull City legend spoke out about his situation to raise awareness of the cause.
‘I was asked if, as an ex-player, I would be prepared to go for a scan,’ explained Windass.
