'Updated with video' I'm a prouder father this morning.

James, my son has just won the Yorkshire Disability Sportsman of the Year award, and I'm over the moon.

9 years ago he was given the last rites, and today he wakes up with a hangover and an amazing recognition for all the work he has put into not just disability sport, but his personal achievements as an England player and as captain of the Leeds Rhinos Wheelchair rugby league team.

That is outstanding, huge congrats Thumbs Up My respect is boundless for people who refuse to be beaten by disabilities and put many people to shame in areas such as sport (myself included!)
