2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
Is this something we really needed to know? Just seems a bit unnecessary
Just come across this reported on BBC. Obviously he was very frail and unwell with his dementia but this is a shocking update. Feels like he went ‘before his time’ unnecessarily. It’s also a terrible undignified way to go for such a great man. Horrible cruel disease. So very sad.
I don’t think it’s undignified at all. Lots of people that age will pass this way and it’s just a factor of life. You become frailer and the likelihood and impact of you falling greatly increases each year. My Grandad passed in a similar way.
I think this kind of thing happens more than you’d think. Thankfully, I’m sure he wasn’t lying at the bottom of the stairs for hours in pain.Just come across this reported on BBC.

When you're old, this is just another natural way to die.

Don’t get me wrong guys, I know all the above (although I’d argue there is nothing dignified about dementia) - my paternal Grandma had dementia to the point she didn’t even know who my dad was, and didn’t remember her owner mum had died decades earlier, and my mums mother in law (2nd marriage) died last year after a fall in a care home, and she too had advanced dementia.I think this kind of thing happens more than you’d think. Thankfully, I’m sure he wasn’t lying at the bottom of the stairs for hours in pain.
Given he’s the last survivor of Munich and had a terrible disease, I don’t see how it’s possible to say it’s before his time, he was clearly really struggling with dementia.

We already knew he had dementia. I’m talking about the fact he had a fall and hit his head on a radiator.Why not? It's just part of life.
Also an indication of how much impact heading those old heavy leather balls ultimately had on the footballers of that generation. Dementia is a relatively new disease in so much as we are just learning about its impact and the potential causes.

It says long-standing so I'll assume it's something that was organised long ago and couldn't be altered.A bit distasteful of the manager not to attend. It must be a very important commitment.
How did Mark Noble bag himself an invite?
He's West Ham's Sporting Director so will be there representing the club.How did Mark Noble bag himself an invite?
Keane and Ferguson are going to be in the same place at the same time?Never mind the Glazers attracting protestors, I’m pretty sure Keane would still try to swing for Ferguson regardless of the time and place.
Got it on now. Been watching it on Sky Sports News.Watching MUTV to see Sir Bobby's cortege at Old Trafford
Just saw a pic of Sir Alex....![]()
Oh I didn't realise it was on Sky.Got it on now. Been watching it on Sky Sports News.
I think there is something about that. Think there is some prior appointment he couldn't miss.Surprised our manager isn't at the funeral. But great to see so many legends
Very appropriate.It's nice to see the academy kids there
