He still does football commentating for digital channels, which suggests to me he has his wits about him.
A weaker memory that comes with age is not the same as dementia. He can have one without the other.

Really. What do you know about it? It is a medical fact that the memory of most fifty year olds is not what is was in their 20's. By the age of 70 - that is even more so for most.

He was just making conversation and before he knew it was jumped on for saying something allegedly offensive - which clearly came as quite a shock to him.

A memory worse than you had in your 20s does not equate to invalid who can't think about what they're saying.

If his brain can associate a jumper on someone's head with a head scarf and formulate a joke about terrorists...
