I can't remember much about the friendly at Dean Court in '72, but I think Law played. But I certainly saw him in the flesh at least one time.
Went to the Dell once, just once (when weren't playing there) and it was solely to watch Law play for Man City. I am very pleased that I did.
Not sure, but wasn't that last goal, the one that sent United down?
This is sad news that highlights what could be a real crisis for football.
The huge number of high profile players getting dementia surely indicates that there must be a massive amount of footballers who played at a lower level, even Sunday league, with the same potential for dementia from heading.
I know the ball is much lighter these days, especially when wet, but stuff needs to be done pronto to ensure this trend is stopped.
It could mean rewriting the laws of the game?
That doesn't mean though...that men didn't get dementia from those heavy rain soaked balls..Millions of women have had dementia too, they didn't play football.
