The family of England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles have called on football to 'address the scandal' of underfunding for dementia sufferers and hit out at the Professional Footballers Association for deserting its members in their hour of need.
Manchester United legend Stiles passed away earlier this month at the age of 78 after a long battle with the disease and with prostate cancer. In 2010, he sold his medals to ensure that his family were looked after.
And in addition to what is a powerful statement his family have backed Sportsmail's campaign for football to tackle its dementia problem, which was launched today.
