Steve Thompson, a key member of England's 2003 Rugby World Cup winning team, has opened up about his condition in an interview with former teammate Ben Youngs. The former hooker confessed that he no longer remembers the iconic moment of lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy.
Thompson, who has been diagnosed with early onset dementia, shared his struggle with memory loss while speaking to Youngs on a podcast. The 45-year-old's condition is believed to be linked to repeated head trauma experienced during his rugby career.
