I played from 1980 though to 2010 (childhood to mid-30s), I didn't get remotely close to elite level, but throughout my career I've been important to the team as fly half and/or captain... I've been concussed multiple times through my career, but I don't recall ever being pressured to play on.
Multiple times I've chosen (insisted) to stay on, with hindsight I'm confident there are several occasions that a coach or teacher should have taken me off the pitch but didn't, and I remember a few times that other players have encouraged me to leave the pitch (which I only did when there was an additional injury, typically involving blood loss).
