Local junior footballer George Blackshaw is one of the Olympic Torch Bearers due to run in Knutsford on Thursday (31st May).

George, who lost half a leg and half an arm in a childhood accident, doesn’t let his disability stop him doing anything he sets his mind to – including playing football for Appleton Boys AFC, his school and for Cheshire’s Disability Development Squad.

Full details of George’s nomination may be found on the Olympic Torch Relay pages.
