‘There is nothing more scary than watching a player head the ball’
Manchester 62 owner Michael Monsour discusses his hopes to change football’s attitude towards concussion and head injuries.
The Gibraltar-based team made history in 2021 when all 10 outfield players wore protective headgear in a match.
Michael's mission to raise awareness of head injuries is the subject of a documentary called "More Than A Game"
The team's star midfielder Ahmed Salam and Michael told Sportshour's Caroline Barker why they’re so keen to make an impact, in more ways than one.
