Dude that's badass. Doesn't your aunt know them or something? Got a story for the SB to explain your unreal luck?

My mom's cousin and maid of honor is best friends with De Bruyne's mom. I had mentioned getting something signed to my mom. But I just never took the time to do anything about it. Shirts were expensive, and I didn't quite know how to go about getting it done, since I had no idea when De Bruyne would be in London, or how I would deal with getting it shipped back. Just seemed like a lot to ask a relative I barely know.


Fast forward. My grandma was in England and Ireland for a month to see her sisters. I picked her up from the airport, and she handed me a bag. I no idea what it was. When I saw green in the bag, I figured she had just brought me a t-shirt from Ireland. Obviously I was stoked to see the autographed De Bruyne shirt. He also threw in a couple of player cards (one from his time at Werder Bremen).
