Former Manchester United left-back Colin Gibson has announced that he has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia.
The 62-year-old, who played for United between 1985 and 1990, ahead of joining Leicester City, was in his late 50s when his wife - Kim - became concerned. However, it is not until now that he has decided to publicly reveal his diagnosis.
Gibson, who could also operate as a midfielder, has made the decision to confirm his diagnosis so that people understand if he is sometimes lost for words. He also wants to encourage other former players to get help if they are experiencing similar problems.
