Lying in a hospital bed recovering from a terrifying car crash, Harry Gibson was tormented by one terrifying thought: would he ever be able to play football again?
Eleven-year-old Harry had to have a foot amputated after he was seriously injured on the Great North Road, in Gosforth, Newcastle, in 2021. The Gosforth Central Middle School pupil, previously a keen player at Great Park Juniors, hit 'rock bottom', thinking this would mean the end of his time on the football pitch.
But now, almost 12 months later, Harry 'couldn't be happier', as he prepares to represent his country at an international football training camp.
