Very interesting and sad article on BBC Sport highlighting one of our Academy players who signed aged 9 and went all through to sign aged 16, with great things expected. Shows how easily life can change.

Ex-Liverpool junior Sean Highdale is heading to Rio

I didn't know if it was ok to put the link on here, but if you search I'm sure you'll find it.

Wish him all the best in Rio.

I remember the lad. Great to see that he has still been able to achieve something many of us able bodied never will.

Agreed and well done for the lad for battling on, makes the challenge of balancing time with the family, work and personal interests I have seem rather trivial!
