It’s like a sporty Cinderella story.

A few months ago, we brought you an article about the plight of poor Carl Griffiths who had to pump the brakes on his rugby career because he couldn’t find boots that would fit his size 21 feet.

But the tough times are over for 6ft 8 in player after Wales captain Sam Warburton presented him with the appropriate footwear for his 14.5 inch long feet.

Adidas produced two pairs of Kakari boots for the 22-year-old who can now resume lining out for Trimsaran RFC.

Griffiths said: “It is amazing to be able to play the game I love again.

“I had no idea they were planning this and I had almost given up hope of ever finding boots that would fit me again.”
