Stan Bowles, affected by Alzheimers

[AndyC]

His family have reported that the 66-year old has a form of Alzheimer's and now finds it difficult to sign autographs.
Wonderful, talented footballer in his day, a joy to watch, hope whatever treatment he received helps him.

 

[tonyhorne]

The sort of footballer that managers like Alf Ramsay just couldn't deal with. Supremely talented, highly paid and far more interested in celebrating their celebrity than sucking up to disciplinarian managers of the national side. Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh, Alan Hudson the lost generation that England failed to accommodate and football lost its way...........

One of a kind,all the best Stan.

 

[Bilko]

great footballer as I remember, one of the original crowd pleasers of his era.

It's one illness that scares the crap out of me if i'm honest,all the best to him and his family in the coming years

Best of luck to him and his family. Was a class act in his day. Sad to see anybody blighted by this tragic illness, hits home harder when it's somebody you grew up watching and admiring in his pomp. Sad news.

God bless him.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Sad news.

 

[Yid4life]

Saw him play at the Lane for QPR. Great player. Sad news.

 

[The Equaliser]

Scored some sublime goals in his heyday. Sad to hear that, it is such a debilitating disease.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Very sad,great character in a game sadly lacking of personalities these days.
