Former England international and first top level footballer to be registered blind Dave Thomas considers his achievements and those of family members who influenced him, reflecting on how he had overcome the difficulties of the onset of blindness with the help of Labrador guide dog Hannah. Socks rolled down and minus shin pads, Dave Thomas was the winger Don Revie once referred to as 'the most exciting prospect in British soccer.' Dave's speed and crossing ability entertained fans of Burnley, QPR, Everton, Wolves, Vancouver Whitecaps, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth. After a fascinating career which included eight England caps, Dave lost a good deal of his confidence and independence when he was registered blind in his 50s. This is the uplifting and emotional story of how he regained control over his life again when paired with his faithful guide dog, Hannah.
