CHRIS SUTTON: Like a cockroach surviving a nuclear apocalypse, Gordon Taylor escapes again... to the bitter end of his time as PFA chief executive, he's not been held to account for football's dementia crisis

This was supposed to be about brain injury in sport. Not the failed Super League. Not Arsenal's potential new owner Daniel Ek and his Spotify billions.

So to hear Gordon Taylor asked those fluffy questions in front of the DCMS committee on Tuesday was sickening. This wasn't a grilling of the PFA's chief executive.

Hell, Alan Shearer got a bigger kicking for apparently declining to appear. Taylor wasn't asked the questions that the families of former footballers who developed dementia wanted and deserved.

Even when Taylor claimed he could provide a timetable for what's been done by the PFA in the last 19 years, since the death of Jeff Astle, it wasn't followed up on.
