Bloomsbury presents Heading for Trouble: Football’s Head Impact Crisis — And How We Save the Game by Kevin Moore, read by Simon Darwen 'A hugely important book' – Sam Peters, author of Concussed 'Kevin Moore poses the right questions about football's biggest issue in this hugely insightful and accessible book' - Jeremy Wilson, Chief Sports Reporter, The Telegraph Headers are thrilling. But football is facing a concussion crisis. Is heading worth it? Heading the ball is considered as much a part of football as passing, tackling and shooting. Pelé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie, Abby Wambach – all have performed memorable headers. But the impact can cause lasting damage. Heading for Trouble is an essential exposé on this dynamic yet increasingly controversial skill. Through new research , Dr Kevin Moore – founding director of the National Football Museum – explores the fascinating history of heading in football and the dangerous, frequently tragic consequences it can cause. Explaining how minor impacts, such as heading, can lead to neurodegenerative brain disease, he highlights the football establishment’s inaction and exposes what may be the game’s greatest ever scandal. Heading for Trouble brilliantly brings this urgent issue into sharp focus and explores how football and heading can move forward without such tragic cost to its players.
