Description: When a broken neck ended Jason Barrell's professional rugby playing career he remained undeterred and, displaying great tenacity and perseverance, managed to pass all the entry exams and become a police officer. Tragedy struck again, however, when a series of strokes forced him to undergo a life-threatening operation that left him semi-paralysed, brain-injured and unable to work. He was only 32.
