chinapig Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Close to home for us too, Matt Bloomfield speaks eloquently and emotionally about the effect of repeated head injuries in football and the need to take them even more seriously. https://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2022/feb/02/wycombe-matt-bloomfield-retires-i-forget-simple-words-it-scares-me 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's such an important issue and that football still isn't doing enough. Why should people like Matt have to raise money rather than the leagues and/or the PFA providing what is needed for instance? I'm also with him on the need for proper concussion examinations being done away from the pitch to remove the pressure on all concerned to get it over with. Let's hope he, Nathan Baker and players affected at all levels don't suffer serious consequences and that they get the support they need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Read this earlier & though the parallels with Baker looked stark. Sensible decision by him to stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some credit for the PFA though: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/feb/02/dawn-astle-dedicated-pfa-dementia-department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
