Dr Moore, renowned for his pioneering work at the National Football Museum, masterfully explores the dangers of repeated heading and the looming concussion crisis threatening the beautiful game. Drawing deeply on his research and unrivalled access to experts, Moore shows how legendary headers by Pelé, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Robin van Persie may come at a hidden cost. \u003cbr\u003eFootball’s love affair with heading is underpinned by tradition and spectacle, yet Moore’s compelling narrative reveals a darker side. He details the scientific evidence linking minor head impacts to neurodegenerative disease, making Heading for Trouble an urgent call for reform. Dr Kevin Moore’s expertise ensures the book is not only authoritative but also deeply engaging for fans seeking to understand the risks players face. \u003cbr\u003eThrough powerful interviews and incisive analysis, Moore spotlights the football establishment’s failure to act on concussion dangers. The book’s central message is clear: the game’s greatest scandal is its ongoing neglect of player welfare. Moore’s unique perspective as both historian and advocate is instrumental in driving this conversation forward. \u003cbr\u003eHeading for Trouble challenges readers, clubs, and governing bodies to rethink the role of heading in football. Thanks to Dr Kevin Moore’s leadership and insight, the book offers hope that football can evolve, protecting players while preserving the spirit of the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(218, 32, 42);\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eROYAL MAIL TRACKED 48\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.com\/uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eFascinating Selection of Books – A Must See! \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: September 24, 2026\u003cbr\u003ePrice: £19.99\u003cbr\u003eHardback: 240 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: \u003cspan\u003e978-0241726716 \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 23.4 x 15.3 x 2.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56597792194940,"sku":"45MAIL","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/2756\/files\/Heading-for-Trouble.png?v=1775464516","url":"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/pt\/products\/heading-for-trouble-footballs-head-impact-crisis-kevin-moore","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
