Share this contentLONDON: Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor denied on Tuesday that his organisation had been"asleep" over the issue of dementia during a parliamentary inquiry examining concussion in sport.
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has accused Taylor of having"blood on his hands" over the issue of dementia. Sutton's father Mike, also a former professional player, died in December last year after suffering from the condition. Taylor defended his organisation, saying:"We've never been asleep on it. It is a very emotive subject."Chris Sutton is one of those people who I speak to in a civilised manner. I tried to explain, he was offered help in regards to his father who was a contemporary of mine when I was playing."I am always prepared to put my head above the parapet because what we do needs to be out there. I am more than prepared to do that with anybody.
Taylor also praised the role of players in helping to derail the breakaway European Super League project.
