Bobby Charlton, Denis Law. Thierry Henry, Gordon Banks, Tony Adams to name but a few haven't died and they all have statues outside football stadiums.

Whatever, but lets not disagree about it on here eh?

The last thing we want is to fall out / argue about it and upset Matt's family, rather defeats the object don't you think ?>(perhaps you don't - think that is)

It's already turning a bit sour - typical Fishy!

Study to start in January.

There was a similar study in the US centred around American Football and the owners tried to sweep it under the carpet. Will Smith starred in a film called Concussion about the findings of a doctor, which were denied by the powers that be for many years. Let's hope the same doesn't happen here.

I just can’t see anything coming from this study, nearly everyone knows someone or has a family member that either has or had dementia and I would guess a huge majority didn’t play football at all. I just think it is a sad consequence of our life span increasing .I actually think the percentage of footballers that get it wont be any different to the percentage of any other occupation.
I am of course guessing and fully understand the call for the study.

The thing that has to come from it is a recognition that heading a ball for a prolonged period of time CAN have such a devastating effect on someone's life. The FA, FL and Premeirship, in conjunction with the PFA should look at setting up some kind of trust that would allow for help and assistance to be given where needed - ie specialist care for the person concerned and respite care for their carers.

It has been identified as being responsible for basically pulping footballer's brains, as evidenced in Shearer's documentary, so there has to be a duty of care from the employing side and a pro-active stance from the PFA. The game is awash with money and it's only right that those who have helped to make the game what it is today are not forgotten in their hour of need.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
