Headway spokesperson Luke Griggs explained more about the link between concussion other degenerative neurological conditions, also speaking about the wider issue of concussion in sport and the need to increase awareness at all levels.
"Our concern at Headway is that we get a cultural change and understanding at grass-roots level where they don't have doctors and ambulances on standby if things go wrong," said Luke. "There is a lot more that needs to be done and we're urging the grass-roots, community-based clubs to take the 'If in doubt, sit it out' approach, and be concussion aware."
