A photo of Jan Vertonghen being dropped off to training with the Belgium squad by his loving mother has been doing the rounds on twitter, and with good reason, as seeing a professional footballer whose Mammy still drives him to football is just adorable.
Here is said photo:
That appears to be a Toyota Corolla, so why does someone who is paid so well to play in the Premier League not have a decent car for when he's in Belgium?
Well, there's two reasons; firstly, because this Corolla has sentimental value, and secondly, because his Mum insists that he doesn't need one.
A Belgian user on reddit clarified the situation for us:
That is fantastic.
It's the type of mammying we love to see on this island, so fair play to Mrs. Vertonghen for making sure her star footballer son doesn't get a big head.
