Players wearing gumshields?

Yeah he does wear one....dont know off any others thou...

Seen others, not in PL though.

shouldn't it be part of their regulation kit, like shinpads?

Have you ever worn a gum-shield? Its friggin annoying. I like to feel as comfortable as possible when playing football. Plus its not as if there is a desperate need for one.

played rugby so yes i have.

basketball players wear them just a thought why footballers don't

It's not a pressing matter, so it won't be changed.

Goal line ruddy technology isn't even here yet. And the only thing I've seen that bloke standing by the goal line do was in the match us v Montpieller where he gave the penalty (not complaining, it was the correct call).

Because football and rugby are so similar.

believe it or not the guy who created rugby didnt agree with the football rules so changed it round a bit which created rugby

Hugo Campagnaro wears one I think

Football does not have significant contact to the head so its not needed. I did see someone wearing one once in pub league game as he thought it made him look hard and intimidating. It had the opposite effect and he got targeted for quite a few fouls.

As you dont expect a blow to the mouth like boxing or even rugby I take the view only a wimp who cant take it would wear one. I've had teeth a little loose and wobbly after getting hit in football but still wouldnt wear one.
