via BBC News:

A teenager born with cerebral palsy, who was picked to play football 
for England, has had his leg amputated.  

Jude Aston, 18, from Wolverhampton has said he is staying incredibly 
positive, having made the agonising decision to lose his leg.  "I was 
laughing and joking right up until I went to sleep", he said.  

The teenager developed complications following a series of leg 
procedures that began in childhood.  

When he was 15, he had surgery to lengthen muscles to help him walk 
more easily and reduce aches he felt while playing for the West  
Bromwich Albion cerebral palsy football team.
