Dario Silva, who used to be a representative football player in Uruguay, lost his right leg in a car accident in 2006. Hearing the news, many people felt sorry for him, but he surprised people by saying unexpected words.
He said he was thankful that he could experience brilliant moments in his football career because he did not go through such trials in the beginning of his career.
He appeared at a charity match with a prosthetic leg in 2009, and received a standing ovation for scoring a goal; a happy smile broke across his face.
