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. Pele, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie - all have executed memorable headers. But the impact can cause lasting damage. Heading for Troubleis an essential expose on this dynamic yet increasingly controversial skill.

The human brain is a jelly, floating in a protective fluid, and there is clear scientific evidence that even minor impacts, such as heading, can lead to a neurodegenerative brain disease. Through new research and exclusive interviews with former players and neurological experts, Dr Kevin Moore, consultant researcher and founding director of the National Football Museum*,* explores the fascinating history of heading in football and the dangerous, frequently tragic consequences it can cause. He highlights the football establishment's inaction and exposes what may be the game's greatest ever scandal.

Heading for Troublebrilliantly brings this urgent issue into sharp focus and explores how football and heading can move forward without such tragic cost to its players.
