At the age of 18 Jack Rutter had the world at his feet.
He was on course to become a top-level professional footballer, until one incident of mindless violence changed his life forever.
During a night out in Gloucester, Rutter was struck from behind in an unprovoked attack.

He was knocked out. He fell, hit his head on the curb and woke up in hospital with incurable injuries and his career in tatters.
But Rutter refused to let his nightmare prevent him from achieving his dream – to play for his country.
And on Tuesday 16 June he will lead the England team out as captain for the opening match of the 2015 Cerebral Palsy World Championships at St. George's Park.
Watch this short film about his journey and find out more about his inspirational story.
