  On November 4, 1984, former England footballer Ray Kennedy was told he had Parkinson's disease. At the age of 35, a glittering career that had earned him 17 England caps, a League and Cup double with Arsenal in the 1970-71 season and a record number of Championship medals with Liverpool during the 1970s, was over.
