At a recent personal appearance, Harry asked organisers not to give him any more than three short sentences to say, as that's the most he can remember at any one time.

His family have mentioned he's now in the late stages of dementia, having originally announced he was ill in 2013. Sounds like his physical health collapsed during lockdown.

Reason I said Steve Smith was a DDP pick is because of this post from @Octopus of Odstock, but the entry has not been updated seemingly. On 25/01/2024 at 20:28, Octopus of Odstock said: One more to point out: Steve Smith, picked by myself for my sporting theme team, is the former Huddersfield Town player now with dementia, not the drummer from Journey.

gcreptile 10,972 Posted April 7 Hard to tell with the dementia footballers. Two years ago, I filled up empty slots with the dementia folks, but Jimmy Calderwood is still alive. Gordon McQueen died last year. Tony Claypole already died in 2022, but didn't obit... These are tough calls... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
