Steve Thompson's documentary called Head On: Rugby, Dementia and Me will air on BBC Two tonight (October 5) and the former rugby star will go into detail about his dementia diagnosis and how he struggles to remember some of his finest sporting moments.The former rugby union player played in the position of hooker for Northampton Saints and England during his career, and he was once England's most-capped hooker.However, his dementia diagnosis has caused the rugby star to lose his memory of his sporting achievements, including his MBE and 2003 World Cup win.But when was Steve Thompson diagnosed with dementia and what other health battles has he faced?Here's everything you need to know:Steve was initially forced to quit rugby in 2007 after picking up a neck injury during a match against Biarritz for Northampton.The rugby star went on to receive a second opinion from doctors about the injury, and he then returned to rugby a short while later.However, Steve's sporting career ended for good in 2011 after he endured a second neck injury, causing him to experience numbness and dizziness after hitting a scrum machine.The injury came just two days before his debut with the London Wasps.The rugby player attempted to carry on training despite the injury and played for an hour in the 14-12 win at Worcester, which was his only game for the club and his last in professional rugby.He told the BBC: I went to the specialist and he advised me it isn't safe to carry on playing."It just went. I was gutted.

MLB adopts first pitch clock, defensive shifts limits, larger bases for 2023 season

Pitcher Jacob Rhame #35 of the New York Mets gets set to deliver a pitch as the pitch clock counts down during the ninth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Houston Astros at Fitteam Ballpark of the Palm Beaches on March 11, 2019 in NEW YORK (AP) - Major League Baseball adopted its first pitch clock, limits on defensive shifts and larger bases for next season in an effort to shorten games and increase offense in a tradition-bound sport.The decision on the clock and shift restrictions by the sport's 11-man competition committee was made Friday over the unanimous opposition of the panel's players, who approved the larger bases. The changes had long been pushed by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred in an effort to combat the increase in dead time over four decades and suffocation of offense in the age of analytics."Throughout the extensive testing of recent years, minor league personnel and a wide range of fans — from the most loyal to casual observers — have recognized the collective impact of these changes in making the game even better and more enjoyable," Manfred said in a statement.Until last winter, MLB needed one year advance notice to make on-field rules changes without approval of the players' association.
