Fair play Chris Sutton so passionate and admire it from a rangers fan 🇬🇧🙏

Chris Sutton powerful words it's time for Fifa to step up and do something

This isn't even the first time he has petitioned...

I can't remember a time Chris Sutton made so much sense.

My nana passed away from a rare form of Dementia, i have to say it’s one of the worst things a family member or even a person could go through. The man makes sense on this occasion

My grandad was a footballer in the 30s and 40s, had vascular dementia when he died. My dad is convinced it was due to heading the big heavy leather footballs they used back then. I’m 100% with Chris on this. Action must be taken.

Nobby stiles had to sell his medals because he had no money as their wasn't much back in the day, luckily united came in without saying anything and won the auction for the medals and let him keep them afterwards, but the fact that it even got to that point is a disgrace

Marvellous Chris. This is one of the most passionate and emotional statements I’ve ever heard. I got talking to Dave Watson at an M6 service station in 1989. A really nice guy.

Rangers fan❤🇬🇧 i love chris sutton coz he loves scottish football

Couldn’t agree more with Chris on this one! Respect from a Rangers fan. More needs to be done. 👏👏👏

Gers fan and respect for this Sutton👌powerful

Love Chris Sutton usually just for his wind up's.... But big respect to the guy for putting himself out there on TV, obviously emotional, for a great cause. ❤️❤️

Normally I don't rate Chris Sutton as a pundit but he's spot on here and really moving to see his raw emotion. My nan had dementia and died this year, horrible disease and we need to do everything we can to stop it, FIFA and the FA must step up.

Respect Chris Sutton 👍🏻

Regardless of what I think of Chris Sutton..as I’m a rangers fan. Feelings aside it’s brilliant too hear that he’s trying to stand up and seek help for such a horrible disease. Fair play to him👏

i was lucky enough to play cricket with this legend in norfolk keep going chris mate keep pushing x

My mammy died last December of Vascular dementia. Its a truly horrible disease and football should do more.

I remember my science teacher talking about footballers get this because of how many times they head the ball and back than the balls were proper heavy aswell, so upsetting I hope Sir Bobby Charlton gets better

Sutton is a class act. Well said that man.

Unfortunately nobody cares unless it affects them personally in one way or another.

I’m an Ipswich fan and can’t stand his punditry but this is so true and needs to be sorted, lots of respect for him, this needs to be sorted

Well said Chris 👍🙏

From a Rangers fan who usually wants to turn off wen Chris is on tv, 100% respect and agree with everything he says here.. Never seen him emotional before, clearly a matter close to his heart ♥

Respect to a real man for getting the message out there. Really hope that football gets behind this and actually makes the changes suggested.

Wow, the passion he put over, come on football get behind this, time for debating has passed let’s do something now

Powerful and compassionate words, well said chris.

I'm happy the FA has banned headers for under-10s. In my teens I remember once complaining about my head hurting from all the headers we were doing in a training session and my coach called me "soft" and teammates laughed. I never complained again - I went home that night and took some aspirin for the migraine. From then on I started taking all the corners and freekicks just so I didn't have to head the ball.

It's fine they'll forget about it tomorrow

I didnt even know this was a problem

Were is the fund raising ambassador from football clubs and were is the money being spent

my dad died of vascular dementia......wouldnt put that on anyone to go through or witness.....chris is doing something good here....highlight it......

FIFA step up Do your part

I disagree with 99 percent of the things he says but this I completely agree and they definitely need to do more.🤞

Big up Chris Sutton!

Fair play to Sutton. He often likes to play the pantomime villain but this was strong stuff.

The FA ..Premier league are not Dementia Centres...it's all about Money....people get Dementia in ALL walks of Life....from Acountants to Landscapers....

I am surprised that it's only 3 times higher than average. In American football for example, 95% have CTE

Good Man R.I.P. To Everyone Who has Died Through Dementia And No by Stiles r.i.p. We Need To All Hope And Pray For Bobby Charlton, From A City Fan 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️💙💙🕊🕊😭😭

There is nothing we can do about footballers who are 90 unfortunately. And because of the change in the football itself it shouldn’t be a threat anymore

Can someone explain why so many players have dementia.

With professional expertise in medicine and biomedical science which I personally have taken part in studies with Alzheimer's prevention and tea consumption without milk or sugar: Funding for curing Alzheimer's and thus dementia is essential. We can and will tackle the issue of Alzheimer's prevention in physical sports and in everyone's life. Totally agree with Mr Sutton on this occasion.

We can't "limit the amount of heading in games" cuz that would make such a drastic change to play styles. What happens to the careers of players who make a living off their crossing? What happens to the pros who's best attribute is their heading? What happens to corners?

Fair play to him. Like everybody else I love a good header, but God knows how much damage they've done to me over the years. I gather the effect was much worse with old footballs, but it's still worth protecting youngsters from anything that might give them problems in later life.

is there any studies being done now as to what effect heading a ball has, they're now significantly different to the the balls the players he's talking about used, I mean my dad used to wear steel toecap football boots, a lot has changed . . .

Thiago Silva recently came out and said he had such a massive headache after playing Burnley and Sheffield due to having to head the ball so often, and this immediately came to mind. It’s really concerning.

Well said. Plenty of money in football to get it done and help out the old footballers suffering

This guy is very creepy

Fair play to Chris

Why not just make everyone wear Cech's headgear so we don't get brain damage when heading the ball

Respect ✊🏻

Just ban heading ,reduce it in training ??????, Sport blindness, avoid lung cancer by only smoking a little bit ??

Reason it's swept under the carpet is it's bad for business... The reality is the only way to significantly combat this problem would be to significantly alter the rules to "the beautiful game"....

There is a.serious problem for players who regularly head the ball. Centre half's, centre forward s or others who constantly are required to head a ball. Bobby Charlton is not a great example as he rarely headed the ball in any game. Wonderful attacking player with a tremendous, powerful kick. As we get older people who never go near a football pitch develop alzheimer's. There is a genuine problem for those in the game who probably head a ball 30/40 or more times.

sad but true

Trying to do a Rashford.

Can't the PFA help his cause?

I worry for granit xhaxa

Ban heading sounds a good idea.

Well said

How exactly is this FIFA's issue?

What about boxers, rugby players , not even 1% of footballers get dementia so that just shows that even if they wasn’t a footballer they still might get dementia anyone can get dementia

He usally a weapon but fair play

BT Back after a Day off Yesterday ... ⚽️

Shoutout to BTs upload speed lately

I think this is way down the list if priorities, footballers dont have to sell everything they own to get care.

I played for years heading old leather ball soaking wet luckily it hasn't affected us ducks

Top man Chris Sutton

People choose to play the game they are responsible for their choices too

I understand this is serious , and I agree with everything Chris said, but a limit on heading through all levels including professional? What would happen in games? How would that be limited? Would change football entirely

Give this man a razzie

If i ever get dementia can someone remind me Chris Suttons a bellend

How is this even an issue its obvious that heading a ball repeatedly back in the day was a factor, so The PFA place a levy only say 1% on players wages. Then 10% of all agents fees, ringfence it for care for any player diagnosed with dementia, have clubs where they can meet and go to matches all stimulating. Its easy just needs the will.

How long before ex-players challenge FIFA in court? What's the PFA done on this? Tell me its not still Gordon Taylor in charge!

Man up.

Well said, but this discussion like always will be swept under the rug until it hits the news later again. shame.

I mean i might sound ridiculous here but its called football so should be played with your foot and not With your head i think that should be scrapped in this sport it sounds crazy but that's one way of helping first things first but that's not ever going to happen but its just a thought

The thing is it's not like any of these demands are unreasonable. But just how long it took forthe sporting hierachy to beliweve concussion was a real thing.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers will heal brains quicker. Especially for the younger ones. Every club should have a couple. Heals wear and tear of the body quicker too. No brainer. 😬

my dad passed in feb this year of dementia. but what makes footballers different from the man on the street??? why not campaign for dementia, period?! for starters, stop dishing out statins, and stop geoengineering

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

The problem isn't just in football when it comes the dementia alot are put in homes to be forgotten and never let out again!! My great na has had it for a number of years dosent really know who I am anymore and the people who care for her are massively underpaid and poorly looked after by the government or there employers it truly is hard to see someone slowly lose everything that makes them who they are I hope this gets all eyes on to this horrible disease 😢

Don’t think a lot of people from recent and this generation will be affected by this cause the balls are much better

Just ban heading in football. Sounds ridiculous I know, but maybe it could work? We all hated the back pass rule when that came in. Plus, football is meant to be played on the floor not in the clouds as Cloughy once said.

hey

Chris Sutton for FA Chairman

❤️

Ban headers in football ⚽️

Mixed feelings, but I think headings heading out of the game. Prevention before cure.

Don’t head the ball simple

❤❤❤

Playing an FA cup final with a hard hat on

don't play football ,and boxing should be banned

Heading the fottball causes neuro disease, There is a solution don't play u know how many people die due to poverty far too many that is a issue

Idc I don’t believe it at all looks to scripted to he doesn’t look like he means it all but let’s see what extent he goes to help

Need to wear helmets like NFL.

Huge amount of money in football and we can’t take care of our legends? Terrible from our football governing bodies

Sutton is a rubbish pundit. He talks big but he can cry like a baby at the same time.

More rangers fans praising Chris Sutton than Celtic fans. This isn’t right. 😂

Something worth taking the knee for,lets all get behind this.

Players make the choice to play the game. They knew the risks. Wear helmets to protect the head, more awareness at a junior level.
