STILL with the subject of sporting potential, we spotted a promising young York footballer this weekend.
Paul Bradley's contribution on the pitch was particularly special, because three years ago he was dangerously ill.
Eleven-year-old Paul's life was saved by the skill of the surgeons - and by the kidney and liver donor who gave the ultimate gift.
Organ donations have fallen since the Alder Hey scandal. There are many more Pauls out there, desperately waiting for a transplant.
His recovery shows how a few moments signing up to a donor card can make a world of difference.
