Tks, Charles. By and large those confronted with the reality of older footballers with CTE - the absolute tragedy of what they and their families face - can't help but go hard on changing the rules, so the footballers of now have more chance to avoid the same fate.

@alanpearcephd Certainly better coaching of technique isn’t ‘the’ solution, but it’s likely it can form part of a far wider set of proposals which include education, a reduction of player exposure to collisions and enhanced concussion protocols that err on the side of caution.

I'm excited to work with @bonnierbooks_uk & @BlinkPublishing on my book, Unforgettable. Countless people in the UK are affected by #dementia. I hope my story can help shed light but also show people that hope and happiness can be found. You can pre order your copy @Waterstones.
Just as 'old balls were heavier' keeps appearing, so too the myth 'old footballers drank and smoked and that's the problem' Data show otherwise. ⬇️cancer,⬇️alcohol dependency etc etc. More to come on this nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… and jnnp.bmj.com/content/91/12/… #dementia #football

Dr Stern on point here with his comments. As with all headgear, attenuation of force in a lab test is not transferring to reduction in TBI on the field.

@AndrewW93733842 @Steveisworried_ @AlixPopham @AllBlacks @WorldRugby Seems lots of dirty laundry for big corporations and sports ...coming out from the wash this year ...sadly...lots of folk still suffering or no longer here to do so 😭💔
“I have an 11, 9, 7 and 5-year-old and at times they are carers for me - and it shouldn’t be that way.” RWC2003-winner Steve Thompson told @BBCRadioSolent bold decisions need taking now to help mitigate the risk to players of damage that can be caused by repeated brain trauma.

An encouraging initial meeting with @scotgov MSP for Sport, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer & representatives from @sportscotland. They listened to Siobhan's story, viewed her photographs, concurred that protecting all sports participants is of utmost importance & have reviewed
@AndrewW93733842 @AlixPopham @AllBlacks @WorldRugby This was stuff you had to go out and find in those days too. No easily Internet-based / socal information dissemination. Easy to cover up then, but we know now since the documents are out there. It's incredibly sad to think the difference it could have had if it wasn't buried
