Alex Ferguson concerned about dementia: candid interview with football legend.

According to inkorr.com: Legendary Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson expressed his fears about the possible development of dementia. He spoke about this during an interview with BBC.

My brother has a tough situation. He struggles to remember things. Although he recognizes me, his memory is not the best. I'm starting to care about my mental health, given my age. I will soon be 84, and sometimes I experience forgetfulness. Perhaps this happened 20 or 30 years ago. No one has a perfect memory. But regarding football and my coaching career, memory has always been important.

Ferguson also shared his hobbies in life.

Currently, I enjoy solving crosswords, singing, and reading. I'm fascinated by history, particularly the Civil War in the United States. After visiting a few battlefields in this country, I really liked it.
