Sean Highdale

Sean Highdale

Sean and four friends went out one night, 
To the cinema, ‘cos his mate had just passed, 
His driving test, so they hit upon the height, 
Of the speed limit, but the car sadly crashed. 

Two were killed, one’s still in a coma, Danny, 
Sean suffered a brain injury, bones shattered, 
Today he says:”I can go and see him, [Danny], 
he can't speak…but I can [kiss him]”, captured.  

He was set to play for Liverpool, just his stripes, 
But the Speke Boulevard tragedy stopped that, 
So now he plays football for Great Britain, snipes,  
And made his Para debut at Rio, Brazil to bat.
