Chelsea academy star Charlie Wakefield surprised his dad on his 50th birthday with a special present – a £25,000 Jaguar XE.
Some 18-year-olds are lucky if they get a car from their dad at that age, but when you sign your first professional deal with Chelsea aged 17, treating your dad to a luxury motor is one of the perks.
A successful youth player at Stamford Bridge, where he has been part of FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League successes, Charlie has now made sure that his dad can leave his old 2003 plate Ford Focus behind and turn up to his son’s games in style.
Wakefield signed a professional contract with Chelsea when he was aged 17, back in July 2015
In a touching post on Instagram, Wakefield shared a picture of his dad, Mark, in front of his new car with a long message thanking him for supporting his journey to becoming a young professional.
In the identical caption alongside the two social media posts, Wakefield wrote: ‘My dad turned 50 years old today and after 2 years of planning his surprise birthday present, the day finally came. I wouldn’t have got as far as I have without this man, I owe him everything.
‘He deserves everything and I can’t thank him enough. Everyone I know loves him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad, and the man I’ve always looked up to. Love you’
