"I still love the game. All ex-footballers do. We all love the game but I just want this sorting out if possible and for anybody who has got this diagnosis to get help."
Earlier this year, at the age of just 57, former Burnley, Celtic, Barnsley, Hull City, Huddersfield and Middlesbrough striker Andy Payton was diagnosed with dementia.
Payton scored over 200 goals in well over 500 appearances during his career in football which he has now been told is the cause of his diagnosis.
In a candid interview with BBC Radio Lancashire, Payton talked about being told he had dementia, his thoughts on the game's attitude to heading the ball and where he goes from here.
