I was sad this week to learn that former Nottingham Forest/QPR player Stan Bowles has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 66.
Stan played for Forest in the 1979/80 season, when we won the European Cup for the second time.
We never saw the best of him really and he is best known for his time with QPR, where he's a massive hero still.
It was still clear to see what a great player he was in his short time with NFFC.
He was an absolute magician with the ball at his feet. He was a maverick – on and off the field – and they are sorely missing from our game today.
Stan is a real crafty Cockney. He loved a game of cards and a gamble and was great fun to be around.
It was a shame it didn't work out for him at Forest but these things happen, even to great players.
