Luggy: I have Parkinson's disease
Monday, July 28, 2008, 12:53
Mr Sturrock, 51, has been affected by a mild version of the progressive neurological condition for about eight years, including in his first spell at Home Park.
He said: “I want people to know about this now. 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 into the open.”
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that can impair the sufferer’s motor skills and speech, as well as other functions.
Mr Sturrock previously managed the Pilgrims from 2000 to 2004, guiding them to the Third Division title in 2002 before leaving to manage Southampton in the Premier League the following season. He returned to Home Park in 2007.
