Belfast schoolgirl's colourful tribute to NI football team on her prosthetic leg

A 10-year-old football fanatic who refused to let the fact she had her leg amputated as a baby limit how much she can do is showing her support for the NI football team in a unique way.

Mya Darragh, from Ravenhill, has shown a colourful tribute to the team at this summer's Euros with a special wrap for her prosthetic leg.

Mya has a rare condition called Tibial Hemimelia, which led to the amputation when she was very young. While she has had a difficult recovery, which will mean ongoing treatment throughout her life, she does not let this hold her back from playing a leading role in Euston Primary School and the local community.
