A Welsh schoolboy who nearly died at birth has made a rousing video for the Wales squad ahead of the World Cup. Louis Horton can’t play contact sport himself because he was born with a hole in his diaphragm affecting his lungs, but he’s more than made up for it with a thundering speech to get behind team Wales.
The 12 year-old wrote and performed his own rallying cry, inspired by Michael Sheen's spine tingling speech, as part of English lessons at Risca Community Comprehensive. And it won praise this morning from the master himself after Louis’ teacher posted it on Twitter.
“I would gladly be a thundering gigantic daffodil next to you Louis! Brilliant, passionate stuff,” Sheen tweeted back after year seven English teacher Ellie Johnston shared her pupil's speech on social media.
