Former Premier League manager Aidy Boothroyd has spoken for the first time about his ongoing battle with Parkinson's.
The 54-year-old, who led Watford to the top flight and was in charge of England Under-21s for five years, spoke about his secret fight against the disease in an emotional video statement.
