Man spends house deposit on grandpa's World Cup dream, then gets unexpected surprise

A soccer fan from England who spent his life savings to take his grandfather to the FIFA World Cup was surprised by a gift that restored every penny he spent.

The pair traveled together to New York, Atlanta and Mexico City, attending England's matches against Panama, DR Congo and Mexico, including England's historic 3-2 victory over Mexico at Estadio Azteca.

Their story quickly gained attention online. 

The proposal came after another offer to repay him if England defeated Panama by more than two goals. 

England fell short in that game.

After England's 2-1 victory over DR Congo, the company followed through on its promise.

"I didn't quite believe it, to be honest, until I looked at my bank [account], and it was there. I was just in shock."

Allmendinger said he plans to save the money while deciding what to do next.

"I'll put it in a savings account for now and see what happens after the next couple of months," he said.

"I can always make money back," he said. "I'm at the age where I can afford to miss out on a house for two or three years," he added.

He also said, "We're more best mates than grandad and grandson."
