The daughter of Norwich City legend and World Cup winner Martin Peters spoke for the first time today of her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s.
The midfielder, who played more than 200 times for the Canaries between 1975 and 1980, hasn’t been to any of the celebration events this year marking 50 years since he was part of the England team which won the World Cup.
Martin’s daughter Leann, 50, told the Sunday Mirror: “Dad hasn’t been to any of the 1966 celebration dinners so far. We had to pull him out. The stress was too much.”
