Celebrity Wheelchair Basketball at Manchester Arndale Centre

Event Date: 22/05/2011

WinkBall citizen video reporters were at Manchester's Arndale Centre on Friday 20th May 2011 for the Celebrity Wheelchair Basketball event organised to promote the BT Paralympic World Cup in the city the following week. Both the men and women of Team GB were in attendance, joined by Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, Shameless' Tina Malone, actress Jennifer Ellison and ex-rugby star Martin Affiah, who were all trying their hand at the sport. Former Olympian Ewan Thomas coached one side, whilst Channel 4 presenter Rick Edwards managed the other, as the Manchester shoppers stopped and watched the showcase. WinkBall reporters spoke to those in Team GB as well as the celebs involved to get an overview of the sport and an insight to their thoughts on London 2012.
