Standing in the middle of Taumadi Square in Kathmandu, Nepal watching one of the most famous men on the planet playing football with a handful of school children, I definitely had a moment. And I wasn’t alone. Looking around me, I could see that this moment would be etched in to the memories of everyone present. It was special for so many reasons.Firstly, I couldn’t quite believe we’d managed to pull it off – this match was one leg of Unicef Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham’s epic challenge to play 7 matches in 7 continents as part of the BBC documentary For the Love of the Game, and it was the crescendo of a month’s work for me. In the days that led up to this moment I had been working with different teams of amazingly talented people, gradually pulling this second match together and it was no mean feat.This match was also really special for the players, especially the girls, who were desperate for a platform to show off their football skills and show the world that this generation of Nepalese girls mean business
