The Football Writers' Association (FWA) is considering opening its Footballer of the Year award to English players abroad, a topic to be debated next week. Former England rugby captain Phil Vickery and Wales centre Gavin Henson are part of a group of 207 players taking legal action against World Rugby, the Rugby Football Union (RFU), and the Wales Rugby Union (WRU) in a concussion lawsuit. The case has gone to court, with diverse players making the scale of damage clear. The lawsuit has drawn criticism for blaming and suing the governing bodies, with some using no win no fee lawyers.
