High School football player played despite having no legs
Bobby Martin was born in 1987 with Caudal Regression Syndrome and no legs.
This video is a relatively recent interview with him and the pictures are from his senior year in high school in 2005.
One key in football is to get low, and how can you get lower than me?

is it bad that i laughed uncontrollably when the dude slipped at 1:09?
haha, that was hilarious! it’s a story about a guy with no legs and he goes and slips on camera… I not only approve of your laughter, but gladly join in.
I dont think he’d be very fast lol
Yes don’t be rude. I bet you have fallen on your butt at on point he didn’t even fall on his butt but you couldn’t stop laughing. Very rude be respectful.
ur never gna play football in the nfl. reality hurts.
Dear VC, You’re never going to make it through college. Reality hurts. You are a real fucking low life for making fun of this kid.
Dear Jerry, It seems a little excessive to use that kind of language and classify a life based on one tiny comment on some obscure blog. Take a few deep breaths. It’ll be okay. Your issue is not with VC.
Just goes to show none of you played football. Cleats+Tile floor = Very slippery. But a very inspirational story nonetheless.
Not tryin to sounds rude, but does he have a ….?
with a 3yr old son, i’d say the odds are likely
That’s gotta hurt.
The lesson in this went completely over the heads of some of the people who posted a comment. I would guess that most of them probably wimp out at the first obstacle between themselves and a major goal, a goal that’s bigger than owning the latest electronic gadget.
Noliah, shut your pot hole nobody wants to hear you babler on about “feelings” and “trying hard” and “goals” what are you five? The purpose of your life is to reproduce. There’s a nice little idea called darwinism. And if we lived in any other time period from the birth of our country till about 100 years ago he’d have died or been killed by his own parents. Its a miracle he’s still alive right now. And thats the only thing I can really congratulate him on. His decision to play football is a bad idea.
Keep it classy, douchebag.
You’re just mad the kid with no legs gets laid more than you.
He’s fulfilled his purpose… have you?
Not too many kids is as confident as this guy when it comes to doing anything, yet he still finds the passion to want to accomplish everything he wants in life. It’s great that this young kid doesn’t let his dreams fail despite his condition. A definite role model for everyone.
I can’t imagine how many times his fingers have been stepped on. ouch
that last hit was clearly roughing the quarterback. shame on him.
