Title: OT - Inspiring Moments
Post by: Decider on March 15, 2006, 11:04:41 AM
Hello,

Having a child with Aspergers Syndrome, I have found it hard in the past to see him having a (normal) future, but after watching this kid I am awestruck, the way the crowd accept him before he comes on to play, and the way he touched the community and country has been tremendous.

Just thought I would share this moment, you may have seen it on last nights news programs.

Cheers,

Eoan

It's a great bit of film Eoan. Gives me a lump in my throat every time I see it.

This piece adds a bit more of the story behind it, albiet with a lot of melodrama, but I think perhaps in this case it merits it.

The fact he was being included was the first part that struck a chord, getting those baskets, and the crowd reaction to him was the icing.
