A promising footballer who lost both legs after a car crash has a new passion in life - after finding "freedom" in skiing.

Adam Golebiewski was only 17 when the crash happened in 2024 in Macduff, Aberdeenshire. He needed a double amputation below the knee.

The former goalkeeper celebrated his 18th birthday during his rehabilitation in hospital, and was fitted for prosthetics.
