BREAKING NEWS: Australian cricketing legend Allan Border reveals he has Parkinson’s – and explains why he kept it a secret for seven years
Allan Border has revealed he has Parkinson’s disease, with the cricketing legend coming out for the first time since his diagnosis seven years ago.
Border, 67, received the shocking news from a neurosurgeon in 2016 and decided to tell only his wife Jane, their four children and close family.
