In 1987 at 17 years of age Neil had reprsented South Australia at the National Youth Soccer Championships. Two weeks later he came on as substitute in the last few minutes of a game and was involved in a heavy tackle breaking both bones in his right shin - severing an artery. After 3 weeks in hospital, five operations and just four days after his eighteenth birthday, Neil was forced to have the lower part of his right leg amputated.
Since the accident, Neil has overcome many adversities, physical and emotional to do as he had dreamed and represent Australia with distinction. His courage and determination has seen him become one of the Worlds best amputee athletes. He has represented Australia since 1989, winning 34 medals. (16 Gold, 10 Silver and 8 Bronze medals).
