David Beckham made his oldest fan's dreams come true by sending a touching video message to her care home.
The former England skipper, 47, stunned 102-year-old Mona Hurry with his surprise at a David Beckham appreciation day at Castor Lodge in Peterborough organised by her carers, who wore Beckham masks.
In the video, Becks said: "Hey Mona, I just wanted to send you a message because everybody at Castor Lodge, all of the staff and of course your daughters, have said what an incredible lady you are.
"I also want to say a personal thank you because I know you’ve followed my career and I know you're a huge football fan.
