EDITORS COMMENTS
Karate expert Owen Murray defies all odds as he sets off from his Wearside home, determined to fulfill his burning ambition. Despite the loss of part of one arm in a tragic accident, Owen's unwavering spirit led him to embrace the martial art eight years ago. Today, at 29 years old, he stands on the cusp of representing his country. Selected as one of only eight members in the English squad, Owen is bound for Bremen, West Germany for the highly anticipated karate world championships. This remarkable opportunity could see him secure one of just five coveted spots on the national team. Owen's journey serves as an inspiring testament to human resilience and determination. His disability has not hindered his pursuit of excellence but rather fueled it further. With every punch and kick perfected through countless hours of training under skilled instructors, Owen has proven that limitations are mere illusions. Sporting a distinguished moustache and exuding confidence, this powerful image captures both strength and grace in motion. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents triumph over adversity. As we gaze upon this photograph from 27th August 1980, let us celebrate individuals like Owen who defy expectations and inspire us all with their indomitable spirit.
