Former Premier League footballer Dean Windass has revealed he’s been diagnosed with ADHD, following an earlier dementia diagnosis. He shared that the ADHD diagnosis helped explain lifelong challenges with focus and processing information. In his new autobiography, Windass opens up about struggles with alcohol, depression, and suicidal thoughts post-retirement. He now encourages other former players to get brain scans and says he’s been overwhelmed by the support he’s received.
