The Beautiful Game and the Ugly Truth. Football's Tragic Link with Dementia, Paperback/Kieran Gill

The Beautiful Game and The Ugly Truth is an emotive examination of football and its ties to dementia. Evidence of its impact is continuing to pile up, from Jeff Astle's death in 2002 being ruled as a result of heading footballs to Sir Bobby Charlton becoming the fifth member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side to be diagnosed with the disease.
