Oliver Arblaster and Martha Elizabeth Wilder are going to be parents 👶
He is a midfielder for Sheffield United; she is the daughter of Chris Wilder, the man who manages him from the dugout. They are both 22, have been together since February 2025 and are already expecting their first child.
The news changes the family dynamic overnight: Wilder will be a grandfather and, at the same time, the father-in-law of one of his players. A manager who decides the lineups and a footballer who now shares the table, birthdays and affection for the same baby with him.
On social media, the reaction came with humor: people say Arblaster will have to earn his place in the starting lineup not in training, but at family gatherings ⚽
