Families of 1966 World Cup heroes want heading ban for young players

Tommy Charlton, the younger brother of Jack and Sir Bobby, and John Stiles, son of Nobby, appeared together at Spennymoor Football Club for a trial match without heading organised by the charity Head for Change. They want to limit heading among young children and introduce a major public education campaign about the game's dementia link. The FA has introduced training guidance that limits professional players to 10 'high-force' headers a week and amateur players only to ten headers. Matches without headings are being trialled for Under-12s.
