Daniel meets his hero

Little Daniel Scahill from Shandonagh in Mullingar was "over the moon" yesterday when he met his hero, Real Madrid star and former Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, at Carton House in Kildare.Real Madrid were on the last day of a ten-day training camp in Ireland and played Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght last night (Monday).Daniel's dad David took his five-year-old son along to Carton House in the hope of catching a glimpse of his hero. But Daniel got more than he had hoped for when Ronaldo agreed to sign his shirt and pose for a photo."He was 100 per cent," said dad David. "He was under serious pressure but he stopped and shook our hands, he was really friendly. Daniel is only five and doesn't know many players but he's a United man and he loves Ronaldo so he was really thrilled, he was over the moon."I'm not much of a fan as I'm an Aston Villa man. He takes after his uncle with the United thing," laughed David.
