Phil Collins cheers his son Matthew on to victory at WSG Tirol!
A special football game took place on Sunday at the Gernot Langes Stadium in Wattens, which was not only interesting for the 200 spectators present, but also attracted a music star: Phil Collins, the world-famous musician and dad of Matthew Collins, stopped by to support his son. The WSG Tirol Juniors won the game against Fügen 2-1. This victory was significant not only for the team, but also for the Collins family.
Matthew Collins has been playing for the WSG Tirol second team since 2023 and has already scored 14 goals in a total of 40 games this season. His father was there for the exciting match, which was a special moment for the family. Matthew shared a photo with his father on Instagram, proudly proclaiming: "Two big wins today!" His sister, actress Lily Collins, also commented on the picture on her Instastories with the words: "I love everything about it," while his brother Nic, also a musician, responded with two heart emojis.
A look at Mathews' career
The 18-year-old Matthew Collins has established himself well in the Tyrol Regional League. Before he came to WSG Juniors, he played in the A-youth team of the German second division club Hannover 96, where he attracted attention through a successful trial training session. Coach Manuel Ludwiger was initially surprised to learn that Collins was the son of the iconic singer and drummer, but this did not influence the decision to include him in the team. “We don’t give anyone a celebrity bonus,” explained Ludwiger, as the decision was based solely on Collins’ footballing talent.
Phil Collins, who currently lives in Switzerland on Lake Geneva, rarely appears in public. Nevertheless, he shows interest and support in his son's activities. The insight into the family bonds and the joy of Matthew's success not only caused emotion, but also enthusiasm among fans who celebrated the picture on social media.
Collins has a total of five children from his three marriages, including Simon, who inherited his musical genes. It is worth knowing that Matthew's sporting career is now attracting the attention of many fans who are looking forward to his further development in football.
Overall, Phil Collins' visit was a highlight of the game afternoon and shows how close the connection between family and sport is.
The coverage of this event confirms the everyday life of one of the most famous musicians in the world, which, despite fame and success, revolves around family support and the joy of sport. LAOLA1, Tyrolean daily newspaper and courier have comprehensively illuminated the events.
