A little boy who 'begged to die' due to an agonising skin condition has enjoyed his first live football match after water therapy helped relieve him from pain - and he even met top Premiership stars. Little Morgan Bishop was left begging to die on his fifth birthday after numerous conditions, including chronic eczema and nephrotic syndrome, saw him unable to walk and bed bound for most of his young years. His parents, Dana and Paul Bishop, set up a GoFundMe page for their brave little boy and managed to send him to a world-renowned hydrotherapy skin centre in Avene, southern France, in 2016 after raising £40,000. Since undergoing the water therapy, young Morgan, now 12, has had a second chance at life and recently enjoyed his live football match, watching his favourite team, Manchester United, beat Norwich. The little lad had 'the best day of his life', meeting players Jadon Sancho and Juan Mata and even being gifted goalkeeper David de Gea's football shirt at the end of the match. Morgan's mum, children's relaxation and well-being coach Dana, 43, who lives in Tadworth, Surrey, with her husband, personal trainer Paul, 50, Morgan and his brother Jenson, eight, said: "Being able to have this special day meant so much to all of us.
