England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles' family is among a group launching legal proceedings against soccer's rule-making body (IFAB) as well the English and Welsh FAs for negligence over claims they failed to protect players from permanent brain injury.
The legal action is being led by London-based law firm Rylands, who said they represent over 30 footballers with "brain damage".
"Many players now suffer, or have died from, various irreversible neurological impairments, including early onset dementia, CTE and post-concussion syndrome." "The FA has also taken important steps to help reduce risk factors that may be linked to head impacts in football, with industry-leading concussion and heading guidelines across all levels of the game."
