0


Former Australian cricketer Allan Border came up with disappointing news for fans on Friday (30th June). He revealed that he has Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder of the nervous system. He confirmed the development to Newscorp. 

Allan Border revealed that he was diagnosed with the disease in 2016 but he didn’t tell anyone. He will be soon turning 68. He recalled that as he walked into the neurosurgeon’s room back then he noticed his moments and directly told him.

Allan Border said that he didn’t tell anyone because he’s a private person and he didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for him. He narrated:

“I walked into the neurosurgeon’s and he said straight up, ‘I’m sorry to tell you but you’ve got Parkinson’s. Just the way you walked in. Your arms straight down by your side, hanging not swinging.’ He could just tell.

“I’m a pretty private person and I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me sort of thing. Whether people care you don’t know. But I know there’ll come a day when people will notice. I get the feeling I’m a hell of a lot better off than most.” 

Allan Border further said that he’s not afraid of the disease. He cheekily said that this time he will not be able to make another hundred. He added that if he even reaches 80, that’ll be a miracle. He explained: 

“At the moment I’m not scared, not about the immediate future anyway. I’m 68. If I make 80, that’ll be a miracle. I’ve got a doctor friend and I said if I make 80, that’ll be a miracle, and he said, ‘That will be a miracle. No way am I going to get another 100, that’s for sure. I’ll just slip slowly into the west.”
