It's fair to say Semenyo's life will always be intertwined with my own.

He is part of the very fabric of my wedding story.

If you don't know the tale allow me to enlighten you all.

I married my fiancee and sweetheart Caroline in a Scottish castle and it was all down to Semenyo.

Why?

Well, he scored a golden goal whilst playing on loan for Newport County in October 2018.

Antoine Semenyo was just 18 when he blasted a 98th-minute winner for Newport against Stevenage at Rodney Parade.

It was his first-ever league goal and it netted yours truly a whopping £11,123 on a football coupon for a stake of just £2.

Ironically Caroline and I has scoped the wedding venue out the day before but the cost was coming in at a massive five-figure sum.
