This guy’s parents didn’t recognise the very famous passengers on their train and it’s such a lovely story
Well here’s a story to warm your chilly bones, just a brilliant tale of this guy’s parents who aren’t really into football so didn’t recognise the very famous footballers who were travelling with them on their train.
The best bit is what happened when they asked if they wanted a photo (and trust us, you don’t have to enjoy football to appreciate it…)

You guys…
I can’t believe this.
It’s… unbelievable.
Yet somehow true.

I’ve always loved sport. Ever since I can remember, I’ve played it, watched it – it’s always been a main part of my life.

My family though just has no interest. Zero. My Nanna liked the Tennis (God rest her soul) but I never had anyone to watch it with at home, couldn’t talk about it. *violins play*

Present Day –
Football is my #1. It’s beautiful, simple yet complicated, and played all over the globe.
All. Over. The. Globe.
3.572 billion people watched the 2018 World Cup, where France defeated Croatia in a thrilling Final.

My family? Still no interest.
My sister and her beautiful family do their thing, my brother is some type of genius, and my parents are in England for a bit where my Dad is working on a big project.

I keep trying to get my parents to watch a game while they’re over there, but it just won’t ever happen.
They learnt the first few lines from It’s Coming Home, so I guess that’s something.

Then, this morning, I wake up to a few messages.
They’re from Mum and Dad.

They were on a train, and a group of people were behind them, playing Uno.
Mum and Dad turned around a few times, as apparently they were making a little bit of noise.
Yes my parents get disturbed by an exciting card game, now you can see I don’t think they’d cope with Wembley.

These lads knew they were making a bit of noise, so they come up to Mum and Dad, and apologise, and ask if they’d like a photo.
Dad is like, oh, that’s nice, and gives one of the gentleman his phone for this stranger to take a photo of Mum and Dad on this train from Manchester.

The stranger looks weirdly at my Dad, at says (with a French accent) “No, no no, I am asking if you would like a photo with me, sir?”
My Dad looks at my Mum like who on earth does this guy think he is?
But also my Dad is mega-polite, and obliges to be in the photo.

Having read through all of these messages, my Dad sends through the photo, and asks “Nathan, you wouldn’t happen to know who this is?”.
