Jim Roberts from Welshpool was a young student at Coventry University when he was struck down with bacterial meningitis. He was in hospital for two and a half years, where he nearly died and underwent a double leg amputation. After leaving hospital, Jim was introduced to wheelchair rugby as part of his recovery. A talented athlete and highly competitive, he was quickly selected for the Team GB development squad and the national team.

A spell playing for Phoenix Heat in Arizona transformed his understanding of the sport, and he returned to the UK determined to help Team GB become the best in the world.
