KingKirk 25,631 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Good Rangers lad Jimmy wish him well Former Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood is being treated for dementia. The 62-year-old has revealed he is living with early onset Alzheimer's disease. Calderwood's partner Yvonne first noticed his problems, forcing him to seek medical help. The former Dunfermline, Kilmarnock and Ross County manager is getting a "bit forgetful" with names. He said: "If, by making this public I can help others talk more openly about dementia, then that will be something positive. "That is why I have spoken with Alzheimer Scotland and invited them along to join me today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Very sad news, a true gentleman and an avid football man. Amazing that he never became a manger at a big time club, his career background is incredible. Aberdeen really shafted him, their sadsack fans never took to him at all - blinded by their own bitter views against Rangers men when things start to go sour. McInnes will be the same, a few bad results in a row and they will resort to that default position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

googglebot 4,736 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I remember the last time he was on TV, a couple of months or so back and thought there was something a bit off when he was talking. Shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
