England World Cup Winner Stiles Died with Brain Injury, Court Told
The coroner said brain injury findings require a full inquest as Stiles’s family and other former players press football authorities for answers.
- On Friday, Greater Manchester South area coroner Chris Morris ordered an inquest into the 2020 death of England World Cup winner Nobby Stiles after medical reviews confirmed he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy .
- Neuropathologist Daniel du Plessis found Stiles's death was contributed to by high-stage CTE along with 'stage three limbic predominant age related TDP-43' and small vessel cerebrovascular disease.
- John Stiles leads the Football Families for Justice group and is among families suing the Football Association and English Football League over claims they were 'negligent and in breach of their duty of care'.
- A full inquest hearing is set for Wednesday, July 15, at Stockport Coroner, while the Football Association told the High Court it has 'not been established by science' that heading causes permanent damage.
- The death of Gordon McQueen, 70, whose inquest found heading was 'likely' a contributing factor, underscores that England's 1966 World Cup team is now 'pretty much wiped out' by neurodegenerative disease.
