David Leavy

David is Northern Ireland’s very first representative, In a Cerebral Palsy 7-a-side Paralympic footy team; He was so impressed by London 2012 assertive, That he asked his managers about the GB team. Just graduated from Queens University, Belfast, In Computing and Information Tech, he’s a ‘90s child, He captained the Northern Ireland football cast, At the 2015 Worlds in St Georges Park - he’s a mild. “Football had a big influence on my life growing up …It helped me overcome [the] difficulties I [had] growing up with a disability. It taught me to [rise up], not to let my disability get in the way [of what I had]”.
