So he did. Must have completely missed that.
Take it back. More than half of them have gone. Legends one and all.

Jack Burgin the bowler at Lockwood Con? Wasn't he a top level bowler who passed away very young? Yes that’s him

It's shocking how many of the players from that era suffered brain related conditions iin later life (Jeff Astle is another well-known case). The ball heading correlation seems increasingly compelling especially with the balls of that era that weighed more and when wet were like a bloody medicine ball.

Dont worry the PFA are investing heavily in research. £800k from memory... or about 1/3 of Gordon Taylor's annual salary.

That's pitiful but then again Gordon Taylor was only ever interested in lining his own pockets.

It’s laughable When you think the average Man U player earns that per month
