Manchester United and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton has been diagnosed with dementia.
The 83-year-old's condition was confirmed to The Telegraph by his wife, Lady Norma, who hopes making the news public will help others suffering from dementia.
The confirmation comes just two days after Charlton's former United team-mate Nobby Stiles passed away having suffered from the same disease.

Charlton appeared in 758 games for the Red Devils, making him the club's all-time top appearance maker until 2008, when Ryan Giggs broke his record.
