England hooker (42) can’t remember wife’s name or winning 2003 World Cup
Eighty-eight former British professional rugby players are suing unions over head injuries they claim have resulted in brain damage.
The players - who suffer symptoms such as from memory loss, depression and migraines - are seeking compensation.
Researchers have over the past decade established a link between repeated trauma to the head and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – an incurable brain disease that often leads to dementia.
Refilwe Moloto interviewed UK correspondent Adam Gilchrist.
Recent articles featuring Gilchrist:
Gilchrist specifically discussed the cases of eight players – all diagnosed with dementia – who are suing their unions.
One of the eight is former England hooker and World Cup winner (2003) Steve Thompson (42) who says he often forgets his wife’s name and can’t remember winning the tournament or even playing in a single game.
