RObert Wallbank was a tiny premature baby, but is now one of the tallest members of district's young basketball squad.
The 12-year-old (above) is 5ft 11ins tall and wears size 11 shoes. He has been called for trials with the West Yorkshire County team and has been invited to a 'talent camp' which is taking place at the end of June. If he is successful at the camp he will be in line to be picked for the Yorkshire team.
Robert was born six weeks premature and weighed just 4lb 7oz. "He has just never stopped growing," said his mum Deborah.
He now has four weeks to get up to peak fitness ready for the talent camp to make a good impression on the selectors.
