Bethany Susie Tiller was an inspirational young lady. Born on the 8th October 2001, she grew up in Denmead. From an early age, Beth loved to dance and was a member of the Southern Arts Academy for many years, performing in shows. 

Music was also a big part of her life, with Bruno Mars always at the top of any playlist. As well as dance and music, Beth loved her football and was a passionate Portsmouth fan, along with her dad, attending matches when possible. Known for her great sense of humour and cheeky personality, Beth also loved hanging out with her close knit group of friends, she was known to them as Tiller! Although quiet and unassuming, Beth touched the lives of everyone who knew her, even those who only met her after her diagnosis in Nov 2016 with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Beth never let her illness define who she was, never losing her sense of humour. The strength and stubbornness that she bravely fought with had everyone in awe of her and her smile and positivity were always the things people mentioned when talking about her. Through her friendship with England cricketer Anya Shrubsole MBE, Beth and her dad Dave were able to rub shoulders with the celebs at the BBC Sports Personality awards, and her love for Portsmouth Football Club deepened with regular visits from Christian Burgess and Kyle Bennet and not forgetting, Kev the Kitman! Although sadly Beth lost her battle in April 2018, her infectious personality and courageous outlook ensure that she will never ever be forgotten.

I will also be personally playing in honour of one of the members of my soccer school. Alfie Cowley started playing football with me when he was 5 years old until he was struck down with this awful disease and unfortunately passed away 24/06/2017. He fought until the end and will be a privilege and an honour to have his name on my shirt when I take the field for this amazing cause
