Dawn Astle: Heading footballs ‘killed’ my dad

Available for over a year

Jeff Astle's daughter has told 5 live it is "shocking" that sport authorities in the UK have taken fourteen years since her father's death to work together to see if heading footballs is linked to developing brain illnesses later in life. Dawn Astle lost her father, former West Bromwich Albion and England striker Jeff Astle, to a degenerative brain disease which the coroner ruled as an 'industrial disease' - in other words, she said, "his job killed him". The FA has been in talks with the Professional Footballers' Association about funding research into the issue since 2014, but until now they have tried to work with the world governing body, FIFA. Following criticism of how long the process was taking the FA says it's going to work with other sports in the UK as well. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Tuesday 31 May 2016.
