Plus he’s still so committed to young talent in the game. Disney thought David was an ideal mentor for the group. He came from nothing to become one of the best footballers and most famous people in the world. He’ll be seen helping to inspire and encourage these youngsters on their own individual journeys. It was a huge coup for Disney to get David on board. For him it’s about sharing his passion for the game and helping these youngsters out as much as he can.”
