Ex-British Lions stars join brain injury legal action
"I've had formers players who have been frightened to come forward because they don't want their employers to know they are struggling," he said.
Mr Boardman said it was the biggest legal action of its kind outside the United States, where the NFL has paid more than £664m to date to former players who developed dementia or concussion-related problems.Mr Woodard said he had been reflecting on the part he may have played in causing injuries due to his physical style of play."I was probably as aggressive as they came as far as running at people - but never wanted anyone to be injured.
He wants the decision to remove players from a match made by medical professionals at every level of the game. Former Wales international prop Peter Rogers, who is currently working as a domiciliary care supervisor while studying for a Masters degree in dementia studies, said that when he played there was a very poor injury culture.
