Ok, so clickbait title to get certain people in the thread

New report by the BBC following an anecdotal study that links 'heading footballs' to an increased chance of dementia in footballers. This may go some way to explaining why some of them are as thick as they are - it's literally one too many balls to the head! As a study, using anecdotal evidence isn't overly compelling though no doubt they've done some fancy stats to justify their claim. Will be interesting to see what (if any) proper follow-up study has to say on the subject.
