Powerchair Football is giving wheelchair users a renewed love for the game.

Powerchair Football is one of the world鈥檚 fastest growing sports. A rush of clashing wheels and swinging chairs providing opportunities for wheelchair users to compete on the football pitch.
Players come from all walks of life and disability backgrounds. For Colin Shields, an accident at work changed his life forever but through powerchair football he has found a love and camaraderie for the game he thought he had lost and there鈥檚 lifelong wheelchair user Kieran Burns, the dreamer, who wants the sport to take over the world.
These are just two of an increasing number sharing the same dreams as any football fan; to play for the love of the game and to maybe one day take to the pitch to represent their country.
