A new study shows that repeatedly heading a football can be linked to developing dementia - what does this mean for football and other contact sports?

Dawn Astle is the daughter of the former England striker Jeff Astle, who died in 2002 at the age of 59 after living with dementia and Barry O'Driscoll is a former medical adviser to World Rugby and member of their concussion committee. They discuss the potential damage that has been caused in football and what this means for contact sports as a whole.
