Matt Crossen
Matt was born in Middlesex in 1990 on 10th June,
In Stockton on Tees, where he works out, trains;
He’s a seven-a-side footballer and plays vigorously,
For the England CP team ‘cos of grandad’s strains.
He had a stroke at work - sore head, blind eyes -
In November 2013 which impaired his mobility,
Made his left side weaker and harder to control,
And which gave him a slight speech difficulty.
Doctors were not hopeful he’d play footy again,
But he stuck in at his exercises and his rehab,
So today he’s been to Rio, they came in 5th place,
Having scored in 2015 at the CP Worlds, fab.
