Former Norwich City striker Chris Sutton said he believes heading a football is what ultimately killed his father.
Mike Sutton died on December 26 last year aged 76 after battling dementia.
He started his career with Norwich City in 1962 before going on to play for Chester City and Carlisle United before he was forced to retire in 1972 due to injury.
