Head On: Rugby, Dementia and Me

ÖZET

In 2003, Steve Thompson played a vital role in England winning the Rugby World Cup. In the last minute of extra time, with the scores tied, Steve threw the ball in from a line-out that was passed to Jonny Wilkinson, whose drop goal dramatically won the match. It is one of the most memorable endings to a game in rugby history, but now retired and aged 42, Steve doesn't remember it. Just like he doesn't remember a huge amount of his professional career.
