Wilson, 16, nets his grandfather €147,000 in Wales debut bet

The jubilant grandfather of football star Harry Wilson is set to bank €147,352 (£125,000) after betting the teenager would play for Wales — when the player was only 18 months old.

The 16-year-old Liverpool academy star made his international debut last night — scoring a big win for his grandfather the moment he came on as a substitute.

Peter Edwards, 62, walked into a William Hill betting shop in Wrexham in 2000 and bet £50 (€59) on Wilson one day playing for Wales, at odds of 2,500-1.
