Football should be unforgettable but sadly for many people living dementia this isn't the case. They often lose memories they have collected over a lifetime. The Football Association (FA) has partnered with Alzheimer’s Society to support players and fans affected by dementia. There are currently around 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK, enough to fill Wembley Stadium 10 times over.
