Former Footballers Raise Awareness on Brain Injuries Related to Heading

Former Manchester City and Newcastle defender, Howey, discusses his struggles with memory loss, a potential indication of cognitive decline related to heading in football. The 53-year-old, alongside other claimants, is pursuing legal action against football governing bodies for brain injuries sustained during their careers. He reflects on the lack of awareness about the dangers while playing and highlights a recent rule change to phase out heading in youth matches, aimed at protecting younger players from similar risks.
