Sir Alex Ferguson and two other Gothenburg Greats are among dozens of football greats to demand brain injuries caused by heading the ball are classed as an industrial injury.
Former Aberdeen and Manchester United boss Ferguson along with ex-Scotland managers Gordon Strachan and Alex McLeish are among the coaches calling for retired players suffering from dementia to be given help via the devolved social security system.
The demand comes after former Scotland hero Gordon McQueen, 70, died from dementia last Thursday. The historic declaration states: “For a generation of our greats, they are facing their final injury time – and time is running out.”
