'A hugely important book' – Sam Peters, author of Concussed

'Kevin Moore poses the right questions about football's biggest issue in this hugely insightful and accessible book' - Jeremy Wilson, Chief Sports Reporter, The Telegraph

Headers are thrilling. But football is facing a concussion crisis. Is heading worth it?

Heading the ball is considered as much a part of football as passing, tackling and shooting. Pelé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie, Abby Wambach – all have performed memorable headers. But the impact can cause lasting damage. Heading for Trouble is an essential exposé on this dynamic yet increasingly controversial skill.

Through new research , Dr Kevin Moore – founding director of the National Football Museum – explores the fascinating history of heading in football and the dangerous, frequently tragic consequences it can cause. Explaining how minor impacts, such as heading, can lead to neurodegenerative brain disease, he highlights the football establishment’s inaction and exposes what may be the game’s greatest ever scandal.

Heading for Trouble brilliantly brings this urgent issue into sharp focus and explores how football and heading can move forward without such tragic cost to its players.©2026 Kevin Moore (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Football Maladie et pathologies physiques Psychologie du sport

A hugely important book which will help raise awareness of the hidden risks of heading footballs while exploring a better future where brain trauma is no longer an acceptable 'occupational hazard' for footballers.
Football has a lot skeletons in its closet, but none more scary than the long, sorry history of concussion. brain damage and heading. Is it possible to imagine the game without headers? Is it possible to just go on when so many players are suffering so badly from the damage caused? Kevin Moore has served us all well by weighing the evidence, telling the stories and asking the really difficult questions about what the game should do and how it might change.
A hugely important book. A must read for anyone interested in the increasingly compelling evidence that the beautiful game is heading for a crisis if we don’t act now.
An urgent warning for football's hidden crisis
A wakeup call ... gives a voice to all those players who entertained millions but are now suffering from conditions related to heading a football ... a book that anyone who loves the game should read!
The concussion crisis is the biggest threat football has ever faced. Kevin Moore analyses the causes of the crisis and suggests practical solutions to protect the beautiful game from itself. This is the book that every fan, player and administrator must read.
In this meticulously researched book, the author gives an overview of the dangers of heading for a range of football players. The nuances that different populations are affected in specific ways adds greatly to our understanding of the issues that now face football’s governing bodies, and it is long overdue that we revise the Laws of the Game.
Kevin Moore poses the right questions about football's biggest issue in this hugely insightful, important and accessible book. Whether the football authorities can find the answers will reveal just how much it really cares for its former heroes and future generations.
A book that needed to be written, even if its truths are uncomfortable for those of us who love a bullet header. Powerful and poignant on matters up to now, it also offers considered recommendations about what should happen next. A vital read.
An important and insightful work and book that will help us appreciate the long-term effects of heading the ball in football especially in children and youth football. Football as a global culture of humankind should evolve with science and humankind. This book will help instigate discussions on a global platform on how we can remove heading from football and even make the game better. I strongly recommend it to every fan who loves football.
