He is part of the very fabric of my wedding story.
If you don't know the tale allow me to enlighten you all.

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

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.
