That's not all! he beat most of his classmates in a 1,500-metre swim and even refuses lifts to walk to school every day.

Callum''s proud mum Leeanne Spry, 31, said: "As soon as he had his false legs fitted he''d always have a ball at his feet. He was obviously born to be a sportsman but he''s had to learn to do it without legs."

Head teacher Ray Bell called Callum''s achievements "truly remarkable".
