Mike Kerr

Mike is a Glaswegian who trains with the Wildcats,
The wheelchair rugby team who like taking centre,
He was born on the 13th December 1982, the stats,
But had a diving accident in 2000 which did batter.

He was studying at college in health and fitness,
But during his rehab he was introduced to rugby, 
The GB Development squad took him on, address, 
Until in 2006 he was selected for the elite, as lucky.

The GB team took silver, 2011, at the Europeans,
And in London they came 5th to boast the place,
He became captain of the British team, had ions,  
And at the Euros 2015 won gold, Rio to embrace.
