Football has been a lifeline for Professor Nick Taylor. Now he wants others who, like him, have Parkinson’s disease to know that physical and social activity can be an incredible source of help.
Nick, a Professor of Law at the University of Leeds, was getting tests for trial drugs related to arthritis when he notified the nurse about a tingling in his feet. After brain scans, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2013 at the age of 43.
Last month, he also led the England team out and scored both goals in a 2–0 win against Guernsey in Saint Peter Port. They have also played in places such as Singapore and are planning more travels. Nick says that going through airports with Parkinson’s can be a “nightmare” but in a team, they are all together and joking about the situation. He says: 'It's just fantastic. It’s getting people out of their houses.
