After a night out on his way home, shortcut, He tripped and fell onto a live railway track, The driver could not stop in time, it strut, But a nurse by-passer saved his life back. He is a large, tall man at 6 ft 5, amputee, And says “I didn't get picked because I’m a fantastic player but ‘cos I was big [see]. The disability’s secondary.“ You have dime. He’s won 2 World Championship silvers, And 11 European Championship medals, With 4 golds, 4 silvers, 3 bronze slivers: He captained teamGB in 2011 in capitals. In Rio the basketball team finished third, Taking home a bronze with total dignity; He’s a 4.0 player, has travelled the world, Enjoying playing for Italian clubs infinitely. Born on 31 January 1968, amputated 22, He lives in Peacehaven in East Sussex, But flips between there and Italy so beaux, To train, although Milton Keynes is apex.
