Rhain Davis (Sept 19, 2007) *with video

Rhain Davis is 9 years old.  He lives in Brisbane, Australia with his grandfather.  He loves to play football and he’s really good.  He can dance around players and nobody can catch him.  When he falls, he gets up and chases the ball.  He can score and he can pass the ball.  Everybody thinks he’s a special football player. Rhain started playing football when he was 3 years old.  His grandfather taught him how to kick the ball and run with the ball.  By the way, Americans use the word soccer instead of football. 

A few months ago, his grandfather made a DVD of Rhain playing football.  He sent the DVD to a very famous football club called Manchester United (Man. U).  The coaches at Manchester United thought Rhain Davis was special too.  They invited Rhain Davis to practice with thirty other 9 year old boys at the Manchester United Football Center.  They hope Rhain will get better and better.

Rhain’s grandfather also put the video on youtube.com.  More than 3 million people have seen the video.  You can see it too.  This boy is truly amazing and you will enjoy it.  The song is pretty cool too.

People say that he will be a great football player when he grows up.  The coaches don’t know what will happen in the next ten years because some special football players don’t become great players when they grow up.  Some boys decide to go back to school.

Although we don’t know what will happen, Rhain’s dream of playing football with the best players has come true.  His story reminds us that we should follow our dreams because sometimes they do come true.
