CALLUM SHAKESPEARE

ONE TEAM. NO LABELS.

For me it all started in 2008 after I fell from a window, broke my back and was paralysed from the waist down.

At university I played American Football and missed that full contact, body crunching, team sport feeling. The following year, I discovered Sledge Hockey at the “Inter Spinal Unit Games” and I was hooked!

Just 18 months later I found myself over the arctic circle going to Sweden to the World Championships… me in Team GB!!!

In the summer of 2011, I became one of the founding members of the Peterborough Phantoms.

We’re not a team, we’re a family, and they have given me somewhere to belong. I might not be the best, but I’m a Phantom.
