Football should be unforgettable

Football should be unforgettable but sadly for many people living dementia this isn't the case. They often lose memories they have collected over a lifetime. The Football Association (FA) has partnered with Alzheimer’s Society to support players and fans affected by dementia. There are currently around 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK, enough to fill Wembley Stadium 10 times over.

What is dementia?
‘Dementia’ describes a group of symptoms that include problems with memory, thinking or language, and changes in mood, emotions, perception and behaviour. Dementia is a progressive disease, which means symptoms may be relatively mild at first, but they get worse over time. There are many types of dementia but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. The next most common is vascular dementia.
