Leukaemia boy meets his favourite footballer

Dream come true: Murkiesh walking hand in hand with Agero into the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

KLANG: Eleven-year-old Murkeish Krishna Murthy had to pinch himself a few times to make sure he was not dreaming when on his way to Manchester, the United Kingdom, last month to watch a football match.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said the leukaemia-stricken boy, who watched the Manchester City versus Chelsea game on Aug 16 at the Etihad Stadium there.
