These memories can play an active part in tackling dementia, depression and loneliness. Following the beautiful game is after all, about making memories, some of them great, but for most of us, memories of what might have been too. Some of the strangest details can remain with us as crystal clear as if they were yesterday. A particular incident in a game, a new chant that sprang up out of nowhere, a great half time pie or a horrendous journey up a snowy M6 to find the game abandoned can stick in the mind as clear as a Guy Whittingham volley. But sometimes those memories can fade due to ill health.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3427 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe.jpg\" alt=\"andy tyskoe\" width=\"425\" height=\"319\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 425px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 425\/319;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3427 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe.jpg\" alt=\"andy tyskoe\" width=\"425\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/andy-tyskoe-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>As a Dementia Nurse working in a busy general hospital in Cheshire, Andy aka @dementiaboy\u00a0has created and delivered awareness sessions to over 6000 hospital staff, members of the public and people affected by dementia.
