Always believe in your grandchildren, even if they are only a year and a half.

Wales at the China Cup on March 22, defeated the Chinese team 6: 0. Gareth Bale marked a hat-trick and became the best scorers of "dragons" in history.

But the match was remembered not only this: the first time for the national team played midfielder Hull City Harri Wilson, who also noted the goal.

Grandfather Harry was probably happy for his grandson, but besides that - also a solid cash prize. The fact is that when Harry Wilson was only 18 months old, the grandfather made a betting shop in the bookmaker that he would one day play for the Wales team.

The amount of the bet was 50 pounds, and the coefficient was 2500. Thus, Grandfather Harry will receive 125 thousand pounds, reports the official Twitter Team FA.

Bournemouth grandfather Lewis Cook can also be in good stead when his grandson makes his debut for England. He bet 500 pounds with a ratio of 33/1 to the fact that Lewis will play for the "three lions" before the 26th anniversary. Now Cook is 21 and he is summoned to the matches of the English against the Netherlands and Italy.



The father of the ex-goalkeeper of England Chris Kirkland also earned this way. When his son was 17 years old, he put 100 pounds on his debut with a coefficient of 100 on what Chris will play for the national team before reaching the 30th anniversary.

In golf, too, there is a similar story. The father of 10-year-old Rory McIlroy put on the fact that he will win Open to 26 years old. The rate of 100 pounds with a coefficient of 100 played in 15 years - when Rory won the Open 2014.
