Gary has been delivering mail in England for years. One of his regular customers was Marc Cucurella, the Spanish full-back who until recently played for Chelsea.
When Cucurella was crowned world champion with Spain in 2026, everything changed: he signed for Real Madrid and had to pack his bags to join his new club.
But before leaving, on one of the last times Gary knocked on his door, the footballer invited him in and let him hold his medal. He put it around his neck. They posed together for a photo.
Gary couldn’t keep it to himself: he shared it on Facebook, joking that he was “the first Englishman to have a World Cup winner’s medal in 60 years”🥇
A small gesture from a player already thinking about Madrid, but who did not forget the person who knocked on his door every day.
