Celia Hodkin has been a fan of the Manchester City soccer team since 1933, reports San newspaper.

One of her childhood dreams has been to become the talisman of her beloved team someday, and today her dream will come true at the 24th Manchester City-Fulhem match, which has fallen in line with Hodkin's birthday.

At the invitation of the club's leaders, Celia Hodkin will tour the Etihad Stadium where the team receives its opponents and will view the match with several City soccer fans on the big screen.

During an evening in her honor after the match, Manchester City's legend Mike Somerbi will donate a ball with the players' signatures to the loyal fan and will assign to cut the cake for her birthday and treat the participants.
