Zoltán is a dedicated football player who loves kicking the ball from morning till night.
His teammates supported him by not wearing his number 7 jersey until he returned from his treatments.

For him, it was no question what he would ask from our foundation: he wanted to see a live match of his favourite team, Manchester United, in England.

With the help of a very kind supporter, we managed to get tickets to the Tottenham - Manchester United match held at Tottenham's new, modern stadium, and of course, it was a full house.
The fact that we even managed to get tickets was a small miracle in itself, as it is impossible for outsiders to buy tickets for these matches. Only club members can buy tickets in advance, and very rarely are there any "leftover" tickets for non-members.

Zoltán eagerly awaited the match, certainly rooting for his favourite team. In the first half, they were leading by two goals, but the final score was 2-2, so the match ended in a draw.
This did not dampen Zoltán's spirits, as he said with shining eyes that he never thought he would see Manchester United play live.

The surprises didn't end there, as one of the managers at our London accommodation even managed to get Zoltán a prospectus signed by Carney Chukwuemeka, the player who wears the number 30 jersey for Chelsea. Zoltán was speechless with surprise.

As we were getting ready to say goodbye, it was very touching when Zoltán said that the best thing about his illness was that he was able to come to London. He is now starting to learn English again and hopes to return one day to this beautiful city with us.

We wish you a speedy recovery Zoltán, and we hope that your dream of becoming a professional football player comes true.
