The widow of Toon legend Charlie Crowe says she believes he developed dementia because of football.
Ruth Crowe, whose husband died in February 2010, opens up for the first time about her belief that Alzheimers disease hit the FA Cup-winner due to tiny head injuries that resulted from heading the old-style football that could be like " heading a brick" during his playing days. Recent research into another famous footballer who was thought to have died from dementia at the age of just 59 identified he actually had a condition which is caused by multiple concussions and other forms of head injury.
