David Beckham’s oldest fan aged 102 left speechless over surprise video message by football star

A 102-year-old woman, said to be David Beckham’s oldest fan, was left stunned after the football star sent a personal video message thanking her for her support. World War II veteran, Mona Hurry, who lives with a life-size cardboard cutout of the former England captain in her bedroom at Castor Lodge Care home, Peterborough, has followed Beckham’s entire career.

And her continued support did not go unnoticed, as Beckham himself got in touch with her to say thank you. The video was revealed during a David Beckham appreciation party held in the care home on Tuesday (January 24) complete with football cupcakes and Beckham masks as part of the care home’s ‘Make a Wish’ initiative.

In the video, Beckham 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, my whole career, and I know you’re a huge football fan. So I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your support over the years. I’m sending lots of love for being an incredible person."
