Frank Worthington: Ex-England striker has Alzheimer's disease
This is about the forth time this year I have heard about a big name footballer from the 70’s having this nasty decease.
Hope he realises about his old team’s achievement.

Not something I would wish on anyone having seen it in someone close.
Best wishes to his family.

Both Aston Villa and Birmingham commemorate Jeff Astle's death, according to Wikipedia.
Have any of our local rivals done anything to commemorate Bobby Moore?
This isn't (just) a rhetorical question.

Former England striker Frank Worthington has denied that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
He issued a statement a day after his daughter claimed he had the condition.
Worthington, 67, explained: "I have never been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or any other neurological disorder or illness.
"I do have some issues with short term memory impairment but I have been assured this is not particularly unusual for a man of my age."
Worthington had a playing career spanning 26 years that included more than 200 appearances for Leicester.
Having started his career at Huddersfield, he also played for many other clubs including Bolton, Birmingham, Southampton, Leeds, Sunderland and Tranmere where he was player-manager.
He added: "I continue to lead a full and active retirement."

You don't quite see it on the video, but Sam Allardyce took the throw-in that led to the goal. If that's of any interest.
