Joe Kinnear RIP

[Mr Gillingham]

I think he started to become affected during his last spell at Newcastle. Vascular dementia. Very sat

My father suffers with the same kind of dementia. Diagnosed 4 years ago. It's such a cruel illness.

How very sad! 😢

The 2001/02 season was truly a great season just for the banter between Joe Kinnear and the Green Army.

One of football’s great characters, but having said that…just a Joe Soap manager!

RIP Joe.

Sorry to hear that. My grandfather had it, but it was very gentle in his case. I know it can be brutal

RIP Joe.
A great character, as many have said.
That season with him and Luggy was most entertaining!
A good right back too, I remember his playing days with Spurs.
