Former football and rugby stars brought a ‘£300m’ brain injury compensation case against their sports’ governing bodies on Tuesday
New claimants among the 378 in the group action included 100 former rugby league players, 40 ex-rugby union players and 15 former footballers.
More than 200 ex-rugby players began the legal case last year. They believe that a number of sports bodies were negligent in their attitude towards brain injuries. Legal experts believe the total claim will top £300m as it came to London’s High Court on Tuesday.
