An act of kindness for a plucky kid, or a serious trial?

If the kid had special boots then I guess there's no reason why he couldnt play professionally!
Great story tho

Wow!....looks terribly painful - Obviously it isn't....Yes, I'm sure there's a way to dessign special boots for him...also makes me realise how lucky we are when our kids born with all fingers and toes etc.

Does that make the stokie kids extra special ??
Very brave kid, who deserves a special day, but it was surely not a serious trial ?

The local news here made a piece on the boy a couple of months back. It kinda looked like the other kids were cuting him major slack because of his disability, so i'd say it was an act of kindess and PR.

It's called 'Football' for a reason, he should be banned from playing as stumps are for Cricket.
