Blind sport struggling for numbers in Britain, says Harris

TEAM GB’s most-capped blind footballer Darren Harris says disability sport is falling behind in this country after failure to qualify for the Paralympics.

Harris played 157 times for England between 1996 and 2019 and represented Team GB at the London Games.

The sport is enjoying a rise in popularity around the world, but there will not be a British team in Paris after they did not make it through the qualification process.
