'We had just arrived at the hospital and we were in very early labour when the game was on, and Jasmine was trying different techniques to get the baby moving into the correct position', said Bradley. 'She watches all the games with me so she doesn't mind, we knew we were in for a longer labour.'Bradley said the pair will 'definitely' be re-telling the story of her birth when their daughter is older, and that he hopes nine goals for Manchester United took his partner's mind off the pain of labour.
'I will definitely be telling her this once she's grown up,' said Bradley. 'We can't wait until she's old enough to start playing herself.'
