Very sad indeed, my grandpa suffered with dementia for his last few years and rarely recognised family visiting him, you just have to try and remember them as they were before.

Jimmy Hill is a top bloke too, I spent a summer working in a cafe in Hurstpierpoint and he used to come in with his wife, he was always friendly and chatty. And yes, his chin really is that big.

Jimmy was a forward in the days of the heavy football, like Jeff Astle, a fellow sufferer before his premature death.
I bought a lovely painting for my wife, probably in the same cafe in Hurstpierpoint. It is a delightful water colour by Bryony Hill and much loved by us both.

I saw this as part of an article about his wife in the Argus earlier this week http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/11606001.Family_war_stories_fascinate_wife_of____Mr_Football___/. I had assumed that I must have missed this news originally but very sad to hear.
