Twenty years ago Dean Hatchard's life was stopped in its tracks: a motorbike accident left him paralysed from the chest down.

This was disaster for a man who made his life on the sea, fishing one of the most dangerous stretches of coast in the country.

But Dean wasn't to be beaten. He's gone on to have three children, and incredibly, he still skippers his own crayfishing boat.

He might have lost the use of his legs but he hasn't lost his spirit.

Watch the inspiring story of a man who wouldn't give up
