Dementia-suffering Premier League cult hero Dean Windass makes heartbreaking admission about his estranged footballer son after his kids cut him off amid 'family issue'

Dean Windass has opened up on his fears his children will make the same mistakes he made ahead of the death of his father, with the former Hull City legend revealing that their falling-out is so severe he does not even know where his son Josh lives.

In an appearance on Daily Mail Sport podcast Whistleblowers, the retired professional - who has been vocal about his previous struggles with substance abuse and suicidal thoughts - detailed the row he had with his father five months before he died after suffering a heart attack.

Windass last month shared a public birthday message to Wrexham star Josh begging him to 'get in touch' and admitted that it was 'hard' not speaking to either

'It breaks my heart,' Windass, who suffers from dementia, told podcast co-hosts Mark Clattenburg and Gordon Smart.
