of course, the union should be trying to protect the players, but the pfa union in this country is not fit for purpose. sorry, john, i beg your pardon, i thought you have finished your sentence, i was just going to say the scottish football association has already banned headers in training for the under 12s, and i am sure parents who hear about this, those parents who stand, week in, week out, training sessions for their kids, they will be very conscious of this, and making sure that their children are not exposed to anything which could cause them serious injury later in life. do you envisage a time when there is a ban on heading entirely in football? that is not what i am advocating. i think everybody should be informed about this terrible disease, and they are not. as i said, i wrote to all of the clubs and i have had no response, really.
football matches, if the coach people are going to ignore it? if football matches, if the coach says head the ball, you had the ball. what there isn t is education. i wrote to all of the clubs in england and the women s super league clubs, i said i would talk to the players with professor willie stewart and educate them about cte. i m pretty sure if you asked harry kane or the england team at cte is, he would not have a clue. and this is a killer disease, killing footballers. i have tried to educate, i tried to educate the clubs with willie stewart. as far as i m aware, there has never been any literature given to a player about the risks of heading the ball. and that is wrong. of course, the union should be trying to protect the players, but the pfa union in this country is not fit for purpose. union in this country is not fit for urose. , union in this country is not fit for ”urose. , m, union in this country is not fit for urose. y , purpose. sorry, john, i beg your ardon, purpo
