    Heading the ball

    Now we all know there might be some relation between heading a ball and some damage.
    Especially the old days with wet (gulp) heavy case ball.
    But some idiot expert on tv said.
    " during the course of a 90 min game, some players can head a ball up to 80 times"
    Can we sign one of them please?

    Yes, this expert is talking out of his rectum. According to the Premier League player statistics for 2018-19, Shane Duffy of Brighton made the most headed clearances during the season with a total of 170.
