Nathan Macqueen

Nathan played pro-rugby for the Glasgow Warriors, 
Until he was seventeen when he had a motorbike crash, 
Which broke thirty bones in has body, medical superiors,
Said he may die, but he battled and is paralysed brash. 

He took up wheelchair basketball and played successfully, 
For the Lothian Phoenix club, and now he daily practices, 
Archery at Edinburgh Uni in their sporting facility, hopefully, 
To win at Rio, because he’s got credentials and analysis. 

He took home a silver medal at the games in Fazza, Dubai, 
At the International Para Championship, and then following, 
He achieved second place, and silver, also in 2016, bligh,
At the European Para Championship in France, his aiming.
