Dele Alli's dad in desperate plea to repair relationship after Tottenham star refuses to wear name on shirt
The father of footballer Dele Alli has reportedly made a desperate plea to repair their relationship after the Tottenham star refused to wear the family name on his shirt.
The midfielder ditched 'Alli' from his Spurs shirt this season after revealing he feels 'no connection' to it .
The England playmaker, who was given away aged 13 as his mother Denise battled alcoholism, now simply wears 'Dele' on his back.
The 20-year-old's devastated dad Kenny Alli reportedly flew 5,000 miles from his home in the US in a bid to patch things up.
But the Nigerian businessman, who split from Denise within a week of their wedding in 1996, was snubbed by the Three Lions star, the Sun on Sunday reported.
Denise, 53, who also no longer sees her son but has remained friends with Kenny, told the newspaper: "It was very upsetting for him to see his son wearing the England shirt without his name on the back of it.
"He is spending a lot of time and money flying over to try to see Dele. He really wants everything to work out well. We all do."
