Martin Hickman
Martin works at a KFC in Glasgow, where he’s from,
And so plays football on their team. Internationally,
He’s played in three major tournaments, not a con,
Because he’s on the Scotland team unequivocally.
He played at school but was discriminated against,
So picked up disability football to make a go of it,
Therapy improved his agility greatly, he did persist,
‘Cos on the pitch he lacks the control others pit.
He was playing on a disabled placement scheme,
When a coach duly noticed him, asking for interest,
So he enlisted in the GB and in the Scotland team,
Making his Paralympian debut at Rio: 5th to chest.
