Anyone who is mad about football would be over the moon at the opportunity to kick a ball around with David Beckham.

Clowns in the Sky made this possible for Shannon. She attended the official opening of the event on the on 28th November 2005.

Despite not being very well, Shannon managed to have a managed to have a fantastic day picking up some tips from the maestro with other children who attended the opening. She also accompanied David Beckham on her own to the press conference!

The photo of her with David was taken at the end of the day when she was tired but very happy. Her Mum said that this was the longest she had spent out of her wheelchair!
