Paralysed from the chest down, he had to learn to live in a new, uncharted realityMarc Brew was sitting in the back seat of a car on a motorway near Johannesburg, telling jokes and laughing with his friends, when a pickup came hurtling down the wrong side of the road towards them. “Out of nowhere, I just remember seeing this white flash,” says Brew, who was 20 at the time.

3 w. ago Ange Postecoglou has a point to prove in Premier League now more than ever | John Duerden

The new Nottingham Forest coach will be better for his two years at Spurs and has unfinished business in Europe after his sackingAnge Postecoglou is used to mixed reactions when he takes a new job. So the response of Nottingham Forest fans to his appointment on Tuesday was par for the course. At Yokohama F. Marinos in 2018, fans were nonplussed at this Australian coming in. At Celtic, it was a case of, “Ange Who?” At Tottenham Hotspur two years ago, there were concerns about how a coach who had worked all over the world but never in a big European league would manage in the Premier League. Earlier in his career, doubters had been won over with trophies. When he moved on, fans from Australia to Japan to Scotland were sad to see him go.At Spurs it was more complex.

It was destabilising and demoralising. Throughout high school I was bullied for my accent, clothes and looks. While Australian girls seemed like flowers thriving under the brutal sun, I felt like a sweaty, acne-prone gremlin who craved the dark and cold of home.Shortly after moving, I befriended a girl who had lost her mum. Suffering in our own ways, we found release in watching the 1998 action comedy Rush Hour, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as detectives trying to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese diplomat. My friend had the film on VHS, and we put it on one night when I was sleeping over. This became a regular activity, and we would fling ourse...
