The Old Crem 3,608 Posted January 1, 2022 Doesn’t he already have a thread. I am sure one was created when he illness was announced. I think it’s too early for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I remember seeing that thread, and I also think it's too early for him, doubt his ilness (dementia I think?) will kill this or next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did actually have Denis Law on my shortlist as I only recently twigged its vascular dementia he has, which is a much shorter timeframe. But yes, a year too early, I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,534 Posted January 22, 2022 Watching the Man Utd v West Ham game, Denis Law was in the crowd. He seemed ok. Doesn't look as if he will cark it anytime in the next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Vascular can be quick but to be well enough to be taken to a football match and them presumably he plans to sit through it all means he is still quite well.

Deathrace 1,171 Posted October 30, 2022 Well enough to be at United's game today at Old Trafford, shown in a close up on Sky. Looked somewhat frail but not at death's door. Feels like Charlton may go first. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Charlton hasn’t been seen in public I don’t think since he was vaccinated for Covid while Law is still well enough to be able to manage going to Old Trafford. Oddly the last time he was mentioned on here was also Man United v West Ham. I don’t think there is any special reason why he would only go when West Ham visit so he must be going at least semi frequently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he does, he was at the Newcastle game the other week too, he must still be in fairly decent health to be able to attend games I thought he would be further on with his dementia by now, as for Sir Bobby Charlton I doubt we will ever see him in public again we will just hear one day he has died. It is 2 years since it was announced he had dementia so I can’t see him been in any fit state to attend games at Old Trafford plus I think he is a more private person than Denis Law and wouldn’t like to be seen in such a condition.

Boycs, on the other hand, who's also 82, looks a picture of (relative) health. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both Law and Sadler missed the tribute at Old Trafford a few weeks back. Sadler looked terrible in a picture posted hereabouts recently, as in struggling in his own garden. Alex Stepney on the other hand... But then goalies seldom head the ball! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,171 Posted November 13, 2023 According to the Mail, Alex Stepney, Paddy Crerand, John Aston, Brian Kidd, Sammy Mccllroy, Alan Gowling, Lou Macari, Willie Morgan and Martin Buchan were all there. So one assumes none of them have late stage dementia at least. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
