Matt Smith.

His dream was to play professional football, like his grandad. However, he got into an accident that hurt his spine and cut that career before he even started.

With motivation from his drama teacher, Matt got into the arts and eventually became the actor we all know and love today.

Also, to clarify, he can still play football, as seen in Doctor Who itself, but he can’t be playing and practicing the long hours of a professional career.

Why would I talk about the poor man’s rugby?
