My Nan died 17 years or so after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and now my mom has it, diagnosed about 3 years ago. It’s an awful disease. This lockdown has really messed with my mom’s routine and her husband is really struggling. We’ve broken a few rules just to help him out. So yep, I’d say Smith has been grieving already.RIP Smith senior, sad times.
Sad news. I watched the episode of After Life last night where the character playing Gervais' dad (a Villa fan in real life too) died. Dementia is heartbreaking.On a selfish level I wonder if Dean will be in the right headspace for the Sheffield United game.

Let's be fair to Deano he brought Grealish game on heaps and bounds since he's been here . The high performance levels achieved by Jack are a result of Dean Smith as coach.Smith and his way of coaching has undoubtedly really developed Grealish on field game.
