england legend nobby stiles died of the disease last month.it makes me angry for a reason and the reason is that every three or four months, a high—profile name comes out and has died from dementia or is diagnosed with dementia and then it is the same old people banging the drum for changes to be made. within the game, my personal view is i do not understand why current players, players of my generation, do not get behind this campaign and haven't got behind this campaign before. i find it baffling. the truth of the matter is, in 15 or 20 years, players of my generation will suffer from dementia. not everybody, of course, but they will suffer from dementia. some will, a lot will, and alzheimer's. and their families will simply be saying this... "why on earth didn't we do something a long time ago about this?" and this is a never—ending cycle, or it has been for a long time now. chris was a striker who was brilliant in the air, scored goals with his head. what he is asking for now is more support for former footballers with dementia and a signi
