England World Cup winner Phil Vickery pledges to donate brain for concussion research

Phil Vickery, who won the Rugby World Cup with England in 2003, has pledged to donate his brain for concussion research after being diagnosed with probable chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Vickery is among a group of former players involved in a lawsuit against World Rugby, the Rugby Football Union (RFU), and the Welsh Rugby Union over head injuries sustained during their careers. His decision highlights growing concerns about the long-term neurological impact of rugby on professional players.
