Tony Parkes: Blackburn Rovers legend reveals
Former Blackburn player and coach Tony Parkes has opened up about being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and being robbed of his football memories.
Parkes made 350 appearances for Rovers as a player and was a coach when Blackburn won the Premier League title in 1995. He was caretaker-manager six times at Ewood Park.
Parkes, 70, wants to raise awareness about Alzheimer's by speaking out.
"It is hard to put two words together," he told BBC Radio Lancashire Sport.
His daughter Natalie Parkes-Thompson has left her job as a teacher so she can take care of her father, who lives in the Ribble Valley.
