yes, that makes a lot of sense. there may be heriditary dispositions involved. i heard a claim that there isn't, but my mother was one of eight that survived childhood and one of two that didn't get dementia. six of eight that did more than hints at such a connection (though i'm aware that such cases may be isolated). so far only one of the twenty plus in the next generation got it, but, of course, the risk is potentially watered down with each generation.
RIP Chris Chilton

My husband writes. " Two games are etched into my memory involving Chris Chilton. The first goes back to the 1966 FA Cup game v Chelsea which ranks as my favourite ever City away game.Did not score but was a perfect foil for Wagstaff who scored 2 to secure a replay. The second was the last match City played in season 65/66, winning 1-0 against Southend at Boothferry Park as Div 3 Champions. I went with my dad to this game and I cannot remember if Chillo scored the goal but my dad loved him as a player.
A couple of months later I left the UK and less than 2 years later my dad died suddenly in his early 60's. The 1966 match was the last I saw with my dad who was taken to his first City game in 1910 and took me to my first in 1946.
Your song has ended but your melody will linger on.

Will this be in English or Dutch?
Nice comments he made... 'No one could head a ball like Chris Chilton not Shearer not anyone'..
Watching from the stands every week at the time, Cllr Brady described Chilton as “an absolute hero”.
“Chris Chilton was an absolute hero of mine along with Ken Wagstaff,” he said.
“There was some great players in that side. How they didn’t get in the First Division I will never know because I used to go every week and watch them during the 60s. What fantastic footballers they were.”
CONFIRMED: Brady is a Tiger

Trivia alert! Her famous 'Pillbox' hats were designed by HalstonFrowick who became a famed international designer with his Halston brand. His story is featured on a Netflix series called Halston.
Never a hat wearer so never wore one but they were hugely popular at the time.
Who could forget the Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge. We were all there to watch the greatest ever Hull City team in the greatest of ever times the Sixties. Chillo and Waggy together on the big stage-magic.
It's still my best away day watching City, had many good ones, but this was something really special coming from 2-0 down to 2-2. I once spoke to Andy Davidson about it and he never forgave Jack Taylor for not awarding us a penalty.
Don Revie was a massive fan and, unbeknownst to Chris, was constantly rebuffed when he tried to sign him for Leeds. Revie ended up settling for the inferior Mick Jones at Sheffield Utd and the rest is history. Who knows what honours he would've won had he been allowed to leave, and the amount of goals he would've scored for City had he not been such an unselfish player.
RIP the Great Chris Chilton.

Definite handball to scoop a header off the line - I think there's a photograph on the history thread. It was at the far end and was clear as day to us. I'm not sure but I think the header was by Mick Milner who I believe was in the same nursing home as Chris Chilton at one point and was also suffering from dementia.
Didn’t Eddie Firmani, the Southend player, get sent off in that game? Can’t remember why but it must’ve been something serious to get your marching orders in those days.
I certainly remember it as being Mick Milner, and if was definitely hand ball. I'm really sorry to hear that about Mick if that is the case, I know him quite well got to play quite a lot of golf with him over the years. I last saw him to talk to at a City game about 5 years ago, and he was fine then.
Pretty sure there was a photo in the next home game’s programme of Ken Houghton heading it goalwards with the Chelsea defender on the line about to handle it.
You could be right, I can remember screaming at the ref hand ball. I can't even remember whether it was from a corner, as that is the only likelihood of Mike Milner being up there, but I must say I have always thought it was him.
