The English Football Association will ask FIFA to investigate whether former players have dementia as a consequence of brain damage from playing the game. Garrett Celek Jersey . Three members of Englands 1966 World Cup squad - Martin Peters, Nobby Stiles and Ray Wilson - have Alzheimers, family members told The Mirror on Saturday.Concerns have grown in Britain about the impact of head injuries after campaigning by the family of former England striker Jeff Astle, whose death in 2002 was attributed to repeatedly heading heavy, leather balls. English FA medical head Ian Beasley is seeking assistance from world soccers governing body to help determine if there are definitive long-term health dangers from playing the game, and if prospective players should be warned.We are taking some research questions to FIFA imminently to ask, Can you help us in trying to find out if dementia is more common in ex-professional footballers? Beasley said.The trouble is we just dont know .Its a massive undertaking to try and decide whether theres an association between having played professional football and cognitive decline - dementia you might call it - commonly brain damage causing functional impairment over time. We just dont know.Its always tempting to say It must be. But were not sure.Last year, USAs Soccer Federation recommended a ban on headers for players 10 and under in a bid to address concerns about the impact of head injuries. Nobby Stiles is one of three members of Englands 1966 squad suffering from dementia Beasley, who is also the England team doctor, wants researchers to assess whether the severity of any brain damage depends on which position the person played, how many games they played, and at which level.The hope is (FIFA) will tell us one way or another, Beasley said. This is a health and safety issue in the end, and thats what it will come down to. You may still want to be a professional footballer but at least we can advise you what the chances are of something irreversible happening to you.FIFA chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak was not aware of the FA seeking specific research into links between footballers brain trauma and dementia.We have very little evidence that would substantiate that assumption for football players, Dvorak said at the Football Medicine Strategies conference in London, which was also attended by ex-Chelsea club doctor Eva Carneiro.But thats the reason why we are also studying the long-term changes of former professional male and female footballers. Not only for brain dysfunction, but also early onset of osteoarthritis.We are looking at the long-term changes without having any suspicions yet.You can watch the Sky Sports documentary - Concussion: The Impact of Sport - right now On Demand.

"I got about what I deserved out of my game today," Stadler said.

Stadler understood how tough the course was playing, so he was pleased with his round. "I knew I really didnt have to do anything crazy today," he said "A couple less would have been nice, but overall Im happy the way it went." Jaidee had one of the better rounds on the day, making four birdies at seven, eight, 13 and 16. He also made bogey at the third and 18th holes.
