Man makes 71-year-old father emotional by surprising him with Manchester United tickets

WooGlobe

In this throwback footage, watch Ben as he surprises his 71-year-old father with Manchester United vs. Liverpool tickets.  &quot;COVID-19 lockdown in the UK took away my father‘s 70th birthday celebrations,&quot; Ben told WooGlobe. &quot;Luckily for us, Manchester United‘s biggest game of the season was a week before his birthday the following year, so we made a plan so that he could make sure he had the time off work. He thought the whole family was going for a day trip out to the zoo.  &quot;I surprised him at the moment we were all about to leave the house, as he was thinking we were going to Chester Zoo. We knew he would cry.&quot;  WooGlobe Ref : WGA795703 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
