Amputee football star Bahman shows the importance of following your dreams

Bahman Jamalaldini is an inspiration. When he was younger he contracted meningitis and later developed septicemia, which lead to five months in hospital. Below-the-knee amputations of both legs, the loss of his right hand and the fingers and thumb on his left meant his life was changed forever.

He now lives life as an amputee, but he hasn't let that stop his football dreams – something he shares with the other football superstars featured in this short film. Every one has refused to be defined by the adversity they face.

Thank you to the following National Lottery funded projects for helping make this film: Limb Power, Foyle Down Syndrome Trust, Man V Fat, Liverpool Homeless Football Club, Danderball, Glasgow Gladiators, Street Football Wales and Gartcairn Football Academy.

Bahman Jamalaldini shows the importance of following your dreams along with other football superstars in our short film.
