Default Alan Jarvis

This came up on my Google feed earlier. Apologies if it has been posted before.

A former Wales international footballer died from dementia linked to repeatedly heading the ball, a inquest has heard.

Alan Jarvis played for Everton and Hull City in the 1960s and 1970s, winning three caps for his country.

The 76-year-old, who had dementia, died at a nursing home in Mold, Flintshire, in December.

On Thursday coroner John Gittins concluded former midfielder Mr Jarvis died from Alzheimer's "caused by his occupation".

Alan was a couple of years ahead of me in Grove Park and had us enthralled with his stories of Liverpool nightlife when he was on Evertons books as a youngster..
