Dean Windass

[Berkshire Blade]

I agree that Dean Windass probably wouldn’t be your first choice as a parent/ role model but nevertheless that’s his Dad and I’m sure there’s been times when its been advantageous to Josh, that he’s Deans son and my opinion still stands.

What’s more, I’m not buying that bullshit about him being unaware of his dementia although I can see how it would help the narrative, but seriously? “Dean wanted to keep the diagnosis quiet and restricted news of his illness to a very small group of close friends, immediate family and Sheffield Wednesday left back Max Lowe”

Max Lowe read about it when it went public...

I agree, I imagine he did, the same time as everyone else in the uk but probably well after Josh, unless he’s fallen out with every single member of his family including his brother or he’s been living off grid in a bivouac on the Brecon Beacons?

Worse than that. Hillsborough.

It takes a real heartless, selfish, arsehole to suddenly fall out with a parent in their elder years. In the knowledge that life roles are likely to become reversed as the parent becomes more reliant on the child, particularly so after a diagnosis of Dementia.

The cycle of life is all about give and take, but no decent individual makes a tactical withdrawal when it comes around to their turn to give.

I hope they can become reconciled, as he says life’s too short.

There's nothing more odd than families. You have no idea what has happened between them. It may look sad from the outside but I have personal experience at how toxic familial relationships can be.

Me too pal. Toxicity, golden child favouritism are all too common and it's the hardest thing to recognise what's been going on for years, how damaging it is and knowing you have to leave it all behind for your own families health and future

And, some if those in outwardly 'happy' families, really aren't

Take care

Out of all the Wednesday players well Ex now windass has been the biggest w@nker of the lot of them

Constantly appears on podcasts tossing his self off , remember him parking across the tram tracks on west street after a Wendy game


You should never wish an ACL on a player but if it happened to windass I wouldn’t be unhappy

Whereas Bannan seems like a decent bloke and will recieve well deserved porker legendary status

This is so true.
Heartbraking . Sad. Emotional.
But sometimes for your own sanity, necessary.

Yeah me too pal, though my experience was a case of someone intentionally exacerbating minor family disagreements in order to justify the complete alienation of elderly parents in their most vulnerable years including dementia.

I suppose that’s why the Dean Windass situation struck a chord with me. On that basis, believe me when I say, my heart goes out to Josh’s sibling Jordan.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

No idea what’s gone on between Dean and his son. I do know though that Dementia can affect behaviour and I hope Josh takes this into account.

Too right me and my son were left to look after my mother when my sister walked away. She took her share of the money though phuckin biatch.

Would probably have been an improvement on Campbell and Ings today, even at his current age.
