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]”.
