Sturrock has Parkinson's Disease

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.
