A former Doncaster Rovers striker has revealed he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease and dementia.

Neil Grayson, who was at Rovers from 1990 to 1991, also played for a string of other clubs during a lengthy career and was part of the Cheltenham side that won a first promotion to the EFL in 1999.

The 61-year-old won promotion with both the Robins and Northampton Town during his career and retired from playing in 2004.

Grayson was at Whaddon Road for Cheltenham's final game of the season, a 4-1 loss to Colchester United, for a fundraising event.

"I've got dementia and motor neurone disease," Grayson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"The worst thing is trying to remember names. When someone tells me their name when I go to a club or a pub then I go next day and I go, 'hello mate'. It's just a bit of a problem."

Grayson began his career in his home county Yorkshire with Doncaster Rovers and York, also playing for Chesterfield before moving to the Cobblers in 1994.

During his time at Doncaster, he scored six goals.

He was part of the side that secured promotion from Division Three in 1997, scoring 12 goals, including the club's fastest-ever hat-trick against Hartlepool United.
