Luke Chadwick celebrates turning 40 by wearing Man Utd EPL winners' medal

How do you celebrate a milestone birthday? Well if you're Luke Chadwick you do so with a spot of karaoke while wearing one of your prized possessions.

The former Manchester United and England Under-21 midfielder turned 40 on Wednesday and took to Twitter to give a glimpse of his celebrations.

Dressed smartly in a suit, Chadwick posed for a photo wearing his Premier League winners' medal - won with United during the 2000-01 campaign.

'All dressed up for the lockdown party,' he captioned that photo. Party popper Will be in bed by ten, have drunk a little too much already.'

Despite that tweet, Chadwick was very much still going beyond 10pm as his next two social posts revealed.

Fully in the spirit of things, Chadwick was enjoying himself as he shared two videos of himself singing. The first was Don McLean's 'American Pie', the second 'Angels' by Robbie Williams.

Accompanying the latter video, Chadwick captioned it: 'One for the road! Off to bed, need to be fresh for the morning! The dog ain’t gonna walk itself!

'Had a great day, won the quiz and karaoke and came second at Uno. Thank you for all your birthday wishes.'

And updating his followers on Thursday morning Chadwick, who received a Cambridge United shirt with No 40 on the back - one of his former clubs, revealed he was feeling a little worse for wear.

'Feeling a tad ropey this morning, must of been something I ate.

'Had a real mixed bag of reviews for my singing but as a performer I accept that and understand my style is quite niche! Hopeful of hearing back from a couple of record labels today. Enjoy your day.'

Chadwick made 39 senior appearances before leaving United in 2006 to join West Ham. He then went on to play for Stoke, Norwich Milton Keynes Dons and Cambridge United before retiring at non-league side Soham Rangers.

He is now coaching children in the Cambridgeshire community at Football Fun Factory.

Earlier this year, Chadwick spoke out about his mental health struggles after being mocked about his appearance on BBC's sports quiz show They Think It's All Over.

In May, Chadwick opened up about how the jibes at his expense, which focused on his looks, obliterated his already fragile confidence as a youngster.

The presenter of the show Nick Hancock publicly apologised to Chadwick, as did team captain Gary Lineker who appeared on the show - with both being accepted by Chadwick.

They Think It's All Over, which ran from 1995-2006, was a late-night satirical sports panel show featuring famous names as guests, with Lineker the most high-profile of the team captains, along with David Gower.
