Chris Kamara

Very sad. I hope he gets better. He seems such a genuine person.

I think we are at the point in time where like it or not we have to consider head trauma in sports. Chris will have headed a few balls as will many others - rugby players have issues as do boxers.
We cannot continue to overlook the fact that Tim Henman is in his late 40's and ok and Rob Burrow isn't 40 and is in a wheelchair. Its awkward and would change sports we love but do we just plough on until compensation claims close sports down?

His brain scans are clear. It might be heading related and it might not.

Footballs weigh about 1/3 of what they did back then.

Banning heading changes the sport irrevocably. There isn’t the current science to determine that yet.

Weve come a long way since Jeff Astle.

Unfortunately the disease that struck down Rob Burrow is not related to only sportspersons, terrible disease.
