Meet the 62-year-old Washington man chasing his dreams of representing Great Britain in basketball

An ex-professional basketballer is chasing his dreams of representing Great Britain in the sport he devoted his life to, despite being past his prime in the traditional sporting sense.

Keith White from Washington started playing basketball competitively aged 18, turning pro just five years later with Newcastle. And although he played at a high level for many years, he never accomplished the honour of playing for his country on a European or World stage.

He hung up his playing shoes when he turned 50, but now aged 62, Keith has returned to the sport that he admires so much with hopes of making his dreams come true - by taking to the courts with GB this summer.
