😢 buxxer. That's sad. Saw her live once, in a stadium in Budapest in 1990. Cracking gig. She had John Miles in her backing band, also sadly no longer with us.

Yet another sportsman taken early through the simple act of taking repeated blows to the head in the name of competition. How long until heading's banned?

Hmm, ban headers but retain boxing, MMA, various full contact martial arts, rugby scrums.....?

Be careful where you go with this. Cyclists crash, bang their heads and get concussion.
Ban everything?

More whataboutery, but at least it's cycling whataboutery.
Taking a blow to the head is accidental in cycling and the risk is mitigated through mandated helmet use in racing.
Taking a blow to the head in football is a core skill.

Craig Brown former Scotland manager has qualified for the next round.

Re headers tbh coaching a reasonably high standard u16 girls team as I now am it is a dilemma. They are good players and good players head the ball - but females suffer concussions more easily so those that don't like it I find it quite hard to say you've just got to do it.

I tend to go down the ideally you head it but I'd rather you got something on it than pretend to and it goes through route.

Missed in May.
Barry Newman, best remembered for the cult classic film “Vanishing Point” ( or more likely the nude girl on a motorcycle) and the tv lawyer in the 70s, Petrocelli, drove off into the sunset, aged 92.

I remember that film, and the nude girl, well.

I have a dvd of it in fact.

He's not going to finish that bloody house now.
