The role of sport in society can often be lost on individuals, though Jack Hunter-Spivey does not require reminding of its significant impact.
Currently competing at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Hunter-Spivey’s journey up until this point has been far from plain sailing – but he wouldn’t change it for the world. The 27-year-old, who grew up in Anfield, harboured hopes of becoming a professional footballer but explored alternative avenues despite his love for Liverpool.
Born with cerebral palsy, Hunter-Spivey instead took up para table tennis but remained inspired by the Reds as he continued his sporting journey.
