Why do so many footballers die so young ??
 
It struck me the other day that most of the footballers I grew up watching had passed away .. I can’t even recall any footballers getting past the age of 75 which is no age these days !!

So many pass away in their sixties despite being super fit for the most important younger years ..


Any thoughts or theories ?

Here's a useless piece of information for you, Bobby Tambling former Chelsea player and all time highest goal scorer for them up until he was over taken by Frank Lampard in 2013 is 83 years old and lives in my village

I saw him play a few times when Chelsea played Burnley ( and Bury I seem to recall) in the sixties … my favourite was always Peter Osgood though

Wouldn't know much about when he played tbh, I only know about him because he used to be involved a bit in my sons soccer team when he was younger

Maybe dog poop has something to do with it.

That's a grand age.
