Rob Davies

Rob played semi-professional rugby, From when he was 4 until the age of 21, When he got a serious spinal cord injury, Whilst playing that rough game spun. As part of his rehabilitation sessions, At Rookwood Hospital, exists in Cardiff, He played table tennis for his arms, Which he continued thereafter, his quiff. That was from 2005, but by ’11’s Euros, He qualified for London’s Games 2012, The Paras of tremendous meme flows, About disability sport, now off the shelf. But he left lonely and without a medal, Which made him determined, craving, So he increased the work and the mile, He sweat each day, a medal engraving. He was World No. 6 in 2012, not good, For him, so he worked on consistency, And became the Euro Champ good, In Italy with singles and team tenancy. In 2015 at the Euros again, in Vejle, In Denmark, he did the same thing - Topped the charts with his angle, In both events - it was plain sailing. Then, the major victory came in Rio, The crowd erupted wildly at his win, Because the tension had been audible, When he’d wrangled to win gold vin.
