David the blind Paralympian

On Tuesday the 20th November,  David Clarke, the blind footballer, came to our school, along with his guide dog, Ned.  He told us all about his career being a footballer right since he was a young boy. Unfortunately he could not play for his school team, as he has been blind since he was born.  He has been captain of the England and Team GB football team and took part in the Paralymics in London this year.  He has now retired from international football, but we were very lucky to hear his inspirational story.   Thank you to Jennifer's dad for organising the visit.
