On Thursday afternoon, the Crystal Palace Under-18 and Under-23s squads met inspirational speaker Charlie Fogarty MBE as part of their wider education from the club.
Charlie was a former Academy player for Birmingham City and Milton Keynes Dons and spoke with the Development sides about his incredible story, aiming to inspire and motivate them both as footballers and people while he did.
At just 15, Charlie was playing for the Northern Ireland Under-16 squad before he was hit by a speeding car whilst crossing the road as he headed out to spend the afternoon with a friend in his native city, Birmingham.
