The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Harris Tinney, from Bellahouston, who will be representing Scotland’s national amputee team after being called up to play for Team Scotland at the Amputee Football European Championships 2024; notes that the team competed in the European Amputee Football Federation Nations League in West Fife and that that after finishing with six points in its games, it proudly qualified for the European stage; understands that Harris first took up amputee football at the age of nine after losing his foot at just five days old; further understands that having started with the juniors AFAS team, the striker was asked to join the senior’s squad when he was just 14 years old, and has continued to train with Palace Park, a mainstream football team; acknowledges that the team will be joining 16 other ballers and team staff as it heads to Haute-Savoie, France, on 29 May 2024; understands that the team has set up a JustGiving page due to the financial strains of funding the trip and that it has received help from the Scottish Football Association and private individuals, and wishes Harris and the entire squad the best of luck.
