West Bromwich Albion legend Ally Robertson has been speaking to BBC Radio WM about volunteering at a weekly session supporting Baggies fans with dementia and Alzheimer's.

The 'Memories' sessions were first launched in 2011 and take place at The Hawthorns on a Wednesday morning from 10:00 until 12:00.

The free sessions are led by West Bromwich Albion Supporter's Club chairman, John Homer and are backed by the club's charity, the Albion Foundation.

"What we do is we get people along with their spouses and their friends who have Alzheimer's and dementia and we call it a reminiscence memories group," Homer told BBC Radio WM's Steve Hermon.
