A six-year-old boy born with only half a heart has defied the odds to play his first game of competitive football. Bobby Davies from Swansea always dreamed of playing the sport like his friends but was rejected from a number of teams due to his rare condition.
He was born with tricuspid atresia, which caused the right side of his heart not to develop with the birth defect requiring multiple operations, ITV News reports.
The condition made it difficult for Bobby to breathe while climbing the stairs and going for walk and he has undergone two open heart surgeries with his latest coming just a year ago. Doctors warned that he wouldn't be able to competitively play football like he dreamed of doing, and many youth teams were not prepared to take him on, but now he has finally seen his wishes come true.
