As some of you know, a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that my dad and I were planning to surprise my grandparents with tickets to Sir Alex Ferguson’s final United match at Old Trafford (long story short: they weren’t able to afford tickets themselves). that-kid-erin suggested I film their reactions and put the video on Tumblr. We decided to tell them in public, in a restaurant in Manchester; we’ve made friends with a few of the waiters over the last couple of years, and a bunch of them decided to stop during their shifts and stand behind our table to watch! I’ve finally got round to uploading the video, so here is the immediate aftermath of us breaking the news to them; it’s safe to say they were a bit shocked! My grandad is a man of few words and even fewer emotions, and he was completely overwhelmed and quite emotional. I actually had to stop filming because my nana started crying! There were a lot of hugs and “thank you’s” and “I can’t believe it’s”, it’s still a bit surreal for them. They had the time of their lives and, like me, were very honoured to be there. My grandparents mean the absolute world to me, their passion for United has never wavered and there were no two people who deserved to be there, at Sir Alex’s last match at Old Trafford, more than those two. They’re already buzzing for next season and I’m so happy that we were able to put smiles on their faces. :’)
I played soccer with my child friend the other day!
This kid kept asking to play football with me for Christmas present since last year, I was finally able to make it come true.
It was only meant to be 15 minutes but as soon as I started kicking the ball I couldn’t finish straight…
Alex Chapman Ferguson. The man who shook football. Ta ra.
