Highland League footballer who overcame near-fatal crash takes to red carpet for Make it to Munich documentary
A teenage footballer’s incredible recovery from a life-threatening car crash has led him to the red carpet.
Nineteen-year-old Ethan Walker defied expectations by cycling from Hampden to Munich just nine months after he suffered a near-fatal car crash while on a dream football scholarship in America.
Ethan, who played for Huntly FC, cycled a total of 750 miles, in a journey to the opening game of Euro 2024 carrying the Scotland team's official match pennant.
And, yesterday, the teenager cycled onto the red carpet at the premiere of Make It To Munich - an emotional documentary which follows his amazing recovery.
Ethan had been joined on his epic quest by the pioneering Scottish surgeon Professor Gordon Mackay, who led his recovery.
The premiere, part of the Glasgow Film Festival for the World, saw the Auchnagatt 19-year-old joined by his mum, sister and grandparents.
By stepping off his bike on the red carpet at the film festival, Ethan was retracing the footsteps of film stars including Toni Collette, James McAvoy, Jessica Lange, Ed Harris and Tim Roth.
Make It To Munich is set to be released in cinemas on May 16.
