Richard Moore: Derry man blinded by rubber bullet as a schoolboy reflects on fateful day 50-years on

A Derry man blinded by a soldier as a child has said he would never take his sight back if it meant giving up his charitable work - raising millions to help youngsters worldwide.

The charity chief was only 10-years-old when he was struck by a rubber bullet fired by Charles Inness, then a captain with the Royal Artillery, on May 4 1972.
