Being in a relationship is bliss. Sometimes. Many couples have their own "themed irritations". Dementia may amplify undesirable habits. This begins at some point, though nobody may realise this due to the subtlety, whilst the frustration builds and the rows intensify...

What an important study. Great that it has open access so it's possible to be read by many.

New findings from the FIELD study published today in NEJM - "Neurodegenerative Disease Mortality among Former Professional Soccer Players" #CTE #soccer #football Glasgow Brain Injury Research Group University of Glasgow nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Hugely significant findings, which justify the inspirational and selfless campaigning of Dawn Astle MBE

Dawn Astle reacts to the dementia findings. “I always thought there was a problem but my overall feeling is that I am staggered. These players who have suffered dementia must not be a statistic - they must never be forgotten. They must remain in the consciousness of the game.”

Who remembers “Rebound” a fun old game at Sporting Memories at Refresh Molesey today. Love the retro box! Rob White

Everyone’s a winner at this morning’s really busy Sporting Memories London Sporting Memories session at Merton Dementia Hub. Thanks as ever to Alan Sellers from AFC Wimbledon Foundation for another mind bending quiz
