Paralympics 2012

Postby Foxe » Tue May 15, 2012 11:20 pm

When I was fit and athletic, before I became fat and wheezy, I was a rugby player of some small skill. I played Number 8 for school, club and county, and regularly scrummed down alonsgside (actually, behind) one Ross Morrison, a similarly athletic fellow.

About a year after I last played with him, Ross was involved in a tragic and unecessary rugby accident that left him paralysed. While I discovered booze, smoking, and the love of a good sofa, Ross discovered inner strength.

Tomorrow it will be announced that he's in the GB Wheelchair Rugby squad for the London Paralympics :D

Very proud of an old friend and wanted to share the news.
