Kanye said he got a dark skin friend that look like Michael Jackson & a light skin friend that look like Michael Jackson 20 years ago and people act like funny lines haven’t been part of his whole career
Really keen to try and get someone at @ManUtd or @MU_Foundation to get this message to Kobbie, so any shares or retweets would be much appreciated. Sadly my Father (Vincent Killeen) lost his brave battle against cancer yesterday. The last game we watched together was the Wolves game, just the two of us in his hospital room. When Wolves equalised we were both so frustrated. I have never willed United to score more than that moment and then Kobbie Mainoo steps up with an amazing winner. Seeing Dads arm in the air, a smile on his face and declaring “that’s why you watch United”. When he saw that you were doing an interview, he insisted that I stay so he could listen. I know football should be about winning trophies, but you will never score a more important goal for our family Kobbie. You are already a hero in our household and you are now my 7 year olds favourite player. Thank you for a truly brilliant and special moment. I am sure your career will bring many of them.
The Killeen Family ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful father/son videos I've seen
If you're a dad, one of your main jobs is to find ways to connect with your kids like this
A personal story as an example:
When I was a kid I collected baseball and basketball cards
It was a serious hobby, every penny I had went toward new packs, complete sets, display cases, etc (mid-90s fleer metal ftw)
I stopped caring about the cards once I turned 13 and I moved on to other hobbies
But for some sentimental reason I held onto all of them
They stayed on a shelf in my closet for decades, and finally a few days ago I randomly decided to pull them out
I showed them to my 3 year old soon, thinking he was wayyy too young to care about these things (he likes trucks and tractors, not mid-90s basketball statistics)
But to my surprise he immediately took to them. Now he carries a handful of cards with him everywhere he goes. And every night he wants to pick out a few of them to put in his "treasure box" near his bed.
And now we have another thing we can do together that we both like.
You never know what's going to click with your kids. Keep trying things. Keep your ear to the ground for what they're interested in. Get to know them. And most importantly, make sure they get to know you.
