John Stiles ‘Disgusted’ by FA’s Stance on Football and Brain Injuries
John Stiles, son of football icon Nobby Stiles, is ‘disgusted’ by the FA’s alleged stance that a direct link between heading a football and brain injuries is still unproven. This comes after a leaked FA defense document questioned their duty of care to players.
Despite evidence, including Nobby Stiles’s own diagnosis with CTE, the FA maintains the link is subject to ongoing research, a position criticized by families and coroners who have linked heading to player deaths.
