Finn Tapp is about to be the most famous player in the sixth tier of English football.
Tapp, a defender for National League South club Oxford City, flew off to South Africa to compete on the wildly popular British reality show Love Island in January and neglected to tell the team where he was going.
The move paid off for the 20-year-old Tapp, though. He and fellow contestant Paige Turley were named the show’s winning couple in Sunday’s season finale. They’ll split the £50,000 prize ($64,700).
Everything really worked out swimmingly for Tapp.
