Love you Gordon Cowans. The best player ever to wear the glorious claret and blue shirt. I played with his brother Vince too at one stage. lovely people and I wish them nothing but the very, very best. A genuine, true legend of the Villa family.

Love Sid. Am sorry to read this, good to see he's approaching it with a positive attitude though. He's a fighter and with the right medication hopefully will continue to thrive for a good while yet.

Us of a certain age should be grateful that we saw him play in his pomp - twice.
All the luck in the world Sid as you battle against this.

Awful news but Sid, you have the whole Villa family rooting for you.
I’m in training to do the Great North Run this year (my first at 58). I have chosen to do it for the Alzheimer’s Society and this news will give me more motivation to raise as much as possible.

Awful news, I hope he's right and the drugs etc can give him as much quality of life for as long as possible. A horrible disease.

Early onset Alzheimer's took my dad at the age of 51. It's an absolute bastard of a disease.
Good luck Sid. We're all with you x
