Description

A report by Ivan Little for Good Evening Ulster on former rugby star Norman Ogilby. Having been badly injured in a game at Ravenhill he was told by doctors that he would never walk again. However, he was determined to prove them wrong and by this stage was able to walk 200 yards on crutches. Looking to make a living for his family again he started up a trophy-engraving business. Norman talks about how he often faces bad times but how his wife, Norma, had been his rock and a driving force for the business. It was his hope that he would act as an inspiration for others with injuries that they can still achieve goals in life.
