Sonstiges » ly do it again, Raymond Turner

Teddy Sheringham was full of praise for young Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford who has enjoyed an excellent start to his young career. The teenager has scored five times since making his Reds debut in late February and Sheringham believes the 19-year-old has a great future ahead of him.The former United forward, who turned 50 on Saturday, said of Rashford: He does have something about him, without a doubt. He seems to have been unearthed from nowhere at Manchester United. There was not a lot of talk about him. Teddy Sheringham: Played for United between 1997 and 2001 When Michael Owen came in all those years ago, I think a lot of people knew about him beforehand and were expecting him to come on the scene and just explode. Thats exactly what he did.With Rashford, he seems to have come from nowhere and he definitely knows where the net is. It is fantastic to have another one coming through the ranks. He has got a bit of pace, gets in behind, but just being at the right place at the right time is a knack for any striker.You can teach it but if you have that born into you, its a lovely knack to have.He seems to be scoring all types of goals at the moment, which is great to see. He seems to have been unearthed from nowhere. Teddy on Marcus And Sheringham, who was part of Uniteds treble winners in 1999, believes the battle for fourth spot in the Premier League is hard to call.He added: Another one of my old teams, West Ham, are vying for that spot. Youd like to think that the experience of Manchester United would get them into the top four.But West Ham are playing with such composure at the moment, and belief, that it could be their position as well.Obviously, Manchester City will have something to say about that. They are a formidable team with outstanding players, so it makes it exciting for that little slot.You can watch Manchester United in action against Everton on Super Sunday.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.

BOSTON -- Dozens of times since beginning their work on the brains of former football players, boxers and military members who suffered repeated blows to the head, researchers have announced their findings with slides of damaged tissue. Researchers presented strong words about the danger of concussions and perhaps a call for sports officials to take the issue more seriously.At a Boston University medical conference on Thursday, doctors put a human touch on the often clinical diagnoses, announcing to a room stocked with family members of CTE casualties that former?Patriots and Eagles?fullback Kevin Turner -- the lead plaintiff in the NFLs concussion lawsuit -- also was a victim of the disease.Theres people there, not just brains, said Tamara Alan, executive director of the Kevin Turner Foundation. She choked back tears to thank the researchers for their work.With Turners parents in the crowd, neuropathologist Ann McKee said the former Alabama and NFL star had the most severe form of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a traumatic brain disease linked to repeated hits to the head. CTE likely caused the Lou Gehrigs disease that killed Turner in March at the age of 46, according to McKee.The severity of Mr. Turners CTE was extraordinary and unprecedented for an athlete who died in his 40s, she said.CTE has been linked to repeated brain trauma and diagnosed in hundreds of former football players. It can also cause symptoms of Lou Gehrigs disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS.After showing slides with evidence of both CTE and ALS in Turners brain, McKee said its not possible to determine whether the CTE caused Lou Gehrigs disease through an autopsy, but this is the best circumstantial evidence we will ever get.After helping Alabama to the national championship in 1992, Turner played eight years in the NFL for New England and Philadelphia. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2010 and pledged his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation that year.McKee said Turner had several symptoms associated witth CTE, including cognitive and impulse control difficulties.dddddddddddd. She said it also appears that the disease damaged the motor cortex of his brain when he was young, likely leading to his ALS symptoms.What Kevin Turners case shows is that when you start playing football at 5 years old, and youre successful, it destroys your brain, said Chris Nowinski, a founder of the Concussion Legacy Foundation.Nowinski said children whose brains are still developing shouldnt be playing tackle football, pointing to medical research and even football coaches, who say there would be benefits from playing non-contact football until ninth grade.This is a totally preventable disease, McKee said. Lets start preventing it.Raymond Turner, Kevins father, said Kevins son stopped playing tackle football before resuming when he reached high school. Raymond Turner said he didnt regret that Kevin played football, but he wouldnt have started him in tackle football so early if hed known the risks.Wed probably do it again, Raymond Turner said, just in a safer way.Turner was one of the named plaintiffs from as many as 6,000 potential players who reached a $1 billion settlement with the NFL to monitor more than 20,000 NFL retirees over 65 years old and compensate those with dementia, Alzheimers disease and other serious neurological conditions.Turner also created and served as president of the Kevin Turner Foundation, which seeks to show the potential connections between repeated brain trauma and Lou Gehrigs disease. ALS causes muscle weakness, paralysis and respiratory failure.In the documentary American Man featured on the foundations website, Turner said he wants to help convince old-school coaches to take concussions seriously.I believe this is the most important thing Ill ever do in my life, other than raising my kids, he said. This is by far bigger than any game or practice or tryout or whatever. ' ' '
