If you're anything like us, this story will grab you and never let go.
Joey Gibbs is an Australian footballer with an awesome tale to tell. His first senior season saw him wheelchair-bound and, just months later, making his debut as the youngest-ever player in an A-League Grand Final.
Joey's journey has since then led him to a slightly shady Belgian club, more national glory, Hong Kong's now-defunct Tai Po FC and, of course, Iceland.
What's life like in a wheelchair? What's life like as an A-League Championship-winning 18-year-old? And just how good have you gotta be to become one of the best goalscorers in Iceland?
You know there's just one way to find out!
