I’ll not be around to find out whether City, with their aerial approach and emphasis on set pieces, will have more players who have problems in later life than other clubs.Quote:

Right on the lace as well.
Those were the days and the day, early 60s on a snow swept pitch Peter Donnely, arms flayling like a demented Tic Tac bookie, one arm in a plaster cast delivering the ball and Gordon Banks into The Canton end net , goal then, today, red card and an ABH charge, aye those were the days, luved emm!!!Quote:

I'm sure it does affect people (heading the ball), but it's like a lot of things - it only seems to affect certain people.
More likely opposition defenders having to head away all those aimless crosses..Quote:

In open play I dont really see many aimless crosses.
We scored 25 goals from set pieces, around 10 more than anyone else in the Championship.Quote:
