Paralysed Football Fan Can Finally Play FIFA Thanks To First MOUTH-Controlled Playstation

A man who was paralysed from the neck down following a triathlon accident is finally able to play Fifa again - after his pals built him the world’s first mouth-controlled PlayStation.

Will Clark suffered a devastating spinal injury in 2012 that left him unable to use any of his limbs after he fell of his bike and broke half of his neck.

The once-active 30-year-old is a huge football fan but was unable to even play the Fifa video game on his games console.

But the adapted PlayStation now means he can use his lip and chin and buttons on his wheelchair to finally enjoy paying with his friends again.

The 30-year-old explained: “I used to be such an active person and had to go back to square one…

“There were things that I never thought that I would be able to do again - getting back to play on the PlayStation was one.

“At the moment I am really into Fifa. I have a special controller which I can operate - I use my chin to move one of the joysticks and can press the buttons with special pads I hit with my shoulders.

“My friends and I are very competitive with each other.

“Preston North End has always been my local team that I supported, but the one in the Premier League is Manchester United.”

Will went over the top of his handlebars when an object got stuck in his wheel during the cycling stage of a triathlon in Thirlmere in 2012.

After the accident he had to rely on friends to cook and clean for him and needs assistance to do even basic tasks - and was told he wouldn’t be able to play a video game again.

But the specially-adapted controller has allowed him to indulge in football and driving games once more - and he hopes to play other styles of games once the console has been adapted even further.

Will added: “The chair is a work in progress that I have with a company called Special Effects - they worked with me after the hospital told me that it would not be possible to play computer games again.

‘The controller itself, if adapted, can do as much as you want it to as the wires from it will connect to all the buttons.

“The only thing that limits me is the number of buttons I can press.

“We are looking at using the back of my head to operate the second analog stick on the controller, but are running into a few issues at the moment.”

Will is also now aiming to complete a 100-mile cycle ride on a battery-powered bike to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance service, who treated him after his accident.
