Amputee hopes to inspire with Golden Boot

A 16-year-old says she wants to use the Golden Boot award she won at the women's amputee World Cup to inspire others.

Annabel Kiki, from Cannock, Staffordshire, was part of the England squad which finished fifth in Colombia.

She had an amputation following a diagnosis of bone cancer at 13 and said: "I never thought I'd go to a World Cup, let alone win a Golden Boot, so I really want to use it to inspire others."

It was the first time the tournament had been held and Ms Kiki added: "We had such an amazing time and we made so many brilliant memories."

The tournament took place in Baranquilla from 4-10 November and she said: "It was very, very hot, I must say.

"We played one game in 37 degree heat so that wasn't as fun."

The team had to fundraise to get the £50,000 they needed to go to Colombia and reached their target with a month to spare.

The England Amputee Football Association's fundraiser aimed to cover their costs, with any surplus going towards maintaining the women's programme in the future.
