“The PFA has been my life for 40 years and I am deeply proud of everything it has achieved to support the work of professional footballers at a time of rapid change for our sport and our society.
“From our work to rehabilitate English football after the nadir of the 1980s, the European bans to the Bosman ruling on the freedom of contract in the 90s and our work in securing Premier League rights in the early 2000s, we have done all that we can to make professional football a better place and a better environment.
From the work we began to embed corporate social responsibility in football clubs now taken for granted across the country, to the work we pioneered in challenging racism in the game and in which continues to be deeply relevant today along with our other anti-discrimination measures, the increased focus on player welfare, particularly in regard to mental health and the support we have provided in the professionalisation of women's football and seeing that momentum increase.
Now however is the time for the organisation to stop, reflect on what it has achieve and consider how best it needs to continue to evolve to keep pace with the development of professional football.” -

'Gordon Taylor's just been sitting there in his ivory tower while we were wiping Dad's backside': Family hit out at PFA over father's dementia
  • Ernie Moss' family have hit out at PFA over their lack of help with his dementia
  • The Chesterfield legend requires 24-hour care from his wife and daughters
  • His daughter Nikki claims Gordon Taylor's PFA were unwilling to offer support
  • She said: 'They've a duty of care but they haven't done a thing. It's heartbreaking'
Ernie Moss devoted his life to football but when he was crippled by dementia his family found Gordon Taylor's PFA unwilling to step forward and fight for him.

The union showed no interest when Moss detected the first symptoms of his illness in his 50s. Nor were they moved to help when he was diagnosed with Pick's Disease, caused by the destruction of brain cells.

At 69, the Chesterfield legend, scorer of 191 goals in three spells with his home-town club, requires 24-hour care from wife Jennifer and daughters Nikki and Sarah. And while the Moss family have long since given up on the idea of union help, they have supported the efforts of chairman Ben Purkiss to topple chief executive Taylor and make changes which might assist others.
