It is a terrible disease, and there is some research that heading a football may be a contributory factor.

I really feel for your family - I can't imagine what you must all be going through.

Yep. One of the great mavericks of his time.
Don't forget, those were the days of chopper Harris, Norman Hunter (rest of Leeds players too numerous to mention) etc and those of his ilk, sticking their heads above the parapet, were targets and kicked to feck.
Little protection from the referee was afforded to the striker who usually had his back to goal.

Regarding his wife, she probably got the brunt of every kick stroke bad decision he took.

Stanley deserves his place in the hall of fame "maverick players".
