Very emotional stuff coming out of the Lewin family as their footballer son is finally at the top. Calvert-Lewin is currently the Premier League’s most prolific striker, he seems in great form and he is not slowing down at Everton.
Karlda’s letter to his son Dominic.
“I remember him not making the England Victory Shield Squad at U16s, certain coaches and managers hot rating him. Having to take a crying 6 year old boy home from his first trial as he was too shy to play.
“When knocked down, he gets back up. You’re not allowed to stay down around here anyway. Rejection is often life’s way of directing you to the path you’re supposed to be on. If you hang around the barbers long enough, eventually you will get a trim.
“Travis Binnion, David Unsworth, Ronald Koeman, Duncan Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti. Thank you for believing in him when others didn’t. The tears shed tonight are happy ones while smiling at anyone who said he’d never make it.
“Bambi on Ice you said, Bambi found his skates. Dominic Nathaniel Calvert Lewin, England debut scorer, and reward for the hard yards done. Tonight belongs to you. Congratulations Son. I love you and I am beyond proud.”
