A very moving story.
I don't think I ever saw him play, but I certainly knew his name.
If he needs to be moved to a home, the PFA should step forward to fund this. They should also be strongly lobbying for research to be carried out as to why such a high proportion of ex footballers (at all levels) suffer from this disease. |  | | |

Genuinely heart-breaking. You like to think that some significant chunks of the PFA’s TV money might find its way to help the likes of Ernie Moss and his family, when Gordon Taylor’s pocketing £3m+ a year. As a society, we should be ashamed of the struggle that families have to go through to get adequate support in these circumstances. Families shouldn’t have the additional stress of losing their family homes when they’re already trying to cope with supporting their loved one(s). |  |

Too many greedy cnts wanting all of today's cake to let any crumbs fall through to deserving cases like this one. Bastards. Not that that should let the FA off the hook.
Strange condition, his: reads books and does sudokus, but nearly lost the power of speech and needs help with the simplest tasks. What must be going on in his head?
Thanks for posting, Mr S, and good on the Tele, too. |  |

"...The Premier League funds the PFA with a proportion of TV money, £19m last year, to facilitate a range of work including benevolent support. The union’s annual return shows that last year it spent £1.5m on medical fees and grants to individuals. “If we are made aware somebody is in need, we’ll give help wherever we can,” Bramhall said. “We will always be challenged on what we do and whether it is enough but I do think that what we do provide is of massive benefit to the former players.”
So, of a turnover of about £21m, £1.5m goes on medical fees and grants to assist players and former players, whilst Gordon Taylor pockets £3m+ and hides behind his deputy when it comes to dealing with the press...what an absolute pis s take. What an absolute cu nt.

No doubt those that receive grants are grateful, but for a Charity that is a pitiful spend on objectives to income ratio. | | | |

35 years that greedy cockwomble has had his snout in the trough. Pay rise of £2m+? Nice work if you can get it. Why does a trades union need a chief executive anyway and why hasn't this cúnt retired, he's 72 FFS??

He's never going to retire. I wouldn't imagine it's the hardest gig in the world - turn up for the odd meeting, have your photo taken with a young lad doing physio every now and then, work from home when you can't be ars ed to go in, turn up in the VIP areas when you fancy going to a game and if there's ever any chance of the media bringing up your outrageously generous salary, just get your number two to talk to the media whilst you stop at home watching Loose Women. He'll be working at the PFA until he can't. | |
