Sad Sad News . Keep Fighting Big Fella.
Yeah I thought that but apparently cause they are so much lighter they travel much faster and therefore the impact on the brain is pretty similar.I think the fact that modern balls are so much lighter will have a big impact on today’s footballers probably not being affected as much with dementia in later years.
Wouldnt be surprised in the slightest. The lack of brain activity whilst doing pretty much nothing can’t help.That’s very sad, he is only 68 as well. I was hearing yesterday that COVID and lack of social interaction speeds up the process of dementia, very sad to hear .
Maybe the lighter balls we use now will helpYou’re not wrong. The heading issue will just grow and grow.
It'll be interesting to see if footballers in the modern era are affected in later years with lighter ballsYou’re not wrong. The heading issue will just grow and grow.

The balls aren't lighter.Maybe the lighter balls we use now will help
