PLYMOUTH Argyle boss Paul Sturrock has today confirmed he is

suffering from Parkinson's Disease.

The Argyle manager has been affected by a mild version of the

progressive neurological condition for about eight years.

"I want people to know about this now," said Sturrock.

"I don't want sympathy, I don't want people feeling sorry for

me - I just thought that this was the right time to bring

things out in the open."

He added: "It is an illness, but one that I am perfectly

comfortable with. It is not a severe form by any means.

"It doesn't really affect me, unless I forget to take a

tablet, and then I just get a few tremors in my hand or my

leg.
