Phil speaks to Stan Bowles about his ongoing battle with dementia. Between 1972 and 1979, Stan dazzled fans with his impudence and cheek, clocking over 300 caps for QPR. He was recently voted the club's greatest ever player by the fans. Last year his family announced that Stan - who is now 67 - had been diagnosed with a form of Alzheimer's Disease and was finding it hard to sign autographs.
