Wilson's granddad wins 100k bet

The granddad of Wales midfielder Harry Wilson has pocketed £100,000 after the Liverpool youngster made his international debut against Belgium.

The 16-year-old became Wales's youngest ever player on Tuesday evening when he entered the World Cup qualifier in the 87th minute, beating Gareth Bale's previous record in the process.

According to ITV Sport, his granddad placed a bet on the youngster playing for his country when Wilson was just 18 months old.

Wilson is highly regarded at Liverpool and has been tipped to feature for the first team over the next couple of years.
