I know Chris Sutton is not everyone's cup of tea (certainly not mine), but I think this kind of interview gives you a bit of a different perspective on someone - which it's important to have. And it's about a hugely important topic, given all the emerging evidence.

This was the original listen, a very powerful podcast from last year.

My own Dad was a player, largely during the 50s and heading was a big part of his game. He also now has dementia. There’s so much out there now on the risks. Good that there’s awareness now for the younger generation and footballs certainly aren’t what they were back in the day but hopefully all the right precautions are taken at early ages.

That said, there is lots of useful info out there on (eg) NHS websites, Alzheimer's charities etc. - hibs.net is probably not the best source of medical information on the web (no offence, admins!).

It reminds you that footballers are just people, no matter what their media persona implies. Well done to Sutton for speaking so candidly. It was very touching.
