Footie legend Gordon McQueen can’t eat but is still able to recognise loved ones amid dementia battle, says Hayley

[Johansen]

Sad reading that article, Gordon was a very good centre half for all his clubs and country and reading this it shows that Hayley and the family will ensure he gets the best care possible. Wish them all the best

So sad. Cracking player.

I long for the day when we finally have a cure for this bastard illness.

My abiding memory of the big guy is him co commentating when hateley got sent off against brugge.
He was going mental.

An absolute shame. Time waits for no man

A lovely guy and a fine footballer. Tragic what has happened to him.

Always had respect for the big man even before i knew he was a Rangers man.
we watched my aunt go through this and its heartbreaking.

So sad reading that, I think of the fit, top professional sportsman he was and find it hard to imagine how he has been affected.
Like others I was unaware of the swallowing issue but in a personal sense it’s another piece of a jigsaw because that happened with my mother and she passed away before dementia could be properly diagnosed.

So sorry.
