Football legend Gordon McQueen’s daughter Hayley has revealed she fears her father will have to go into full-time care.
It was announced last year that the 70-year-old – who played for St Mirren, Leeds United and Manchester United – had been diagnosed with vascular dementia. His family believe years of heading the ball during a career which also saw him capped 30 times for Scotland led to his illness.
Sky Sports presenter Hayley, 42, said her dad’s decline had been “rapid” and that family members are struggling to cope with caring for him. She revealed that her mum, Yvonne, broke her leg earlier this year while looking after her dad and said an upcoming stint in respite care could become permanent.
