Wales striker Moore was nearly forced to quit in 2019, now he's scoring at Euro 2020

Wales striker Kieffer Moore is only 28 but has already lived many lives. He once worked as a lifeguard while playing for Truro City back in 2012; then, two years ago, was nearly forced into retirement after fracturing his skull having being knocked unconscious for eight minutes while playing for Barnsley. Now he's scoring goals in a major international tournament for his country.

Wales were comfortably outplayed in their Euro 2020 opener against Switzerland in Baku, but Moore's headed goal in the second half -- combined with some stellar goalkeeper from Danny Ward -- saw them grab an equaliser after Breel Embolo's goal shortly after half-time to save a 1-1 draw.
