NAKHI WELLS? mum says her free-scoring son mastered his sharp-shooting... by smashing windows with a football.
The Bermudian striker?s 18 goals this season have helped lead Bradford to Wembley.
And after the Bantams? historic achievement Elizabeth Simmons, 46, says her son is welcome back home any time he wants.
She said: ?Nakhi would be out in the yard with his mates, kicking balls and breaking my windows.
?And believe me, I had enough broken windows! But he can come home and break windows any time he likes.?
Wells will be only the third Bermudan to play at Wembley.
But his mother revealed he could have followed in her footsteps and become an accountant or a jeweller instead of footballer.
She said: ?Nakhi liked numbers but he never wanted to be sitting behind a desk. But he was always interested in was designing jewellery.?
Wells? triumphant season has also been touched by tragedy after his best pal Tumaini Steede, 22, died in a bike crash.
The Bradford striker went home to be a pall-bearer at the funeral and plays in boots with Steede?s name on them.
After scoring against Aston Villa in the semi-final he lifted his shirt to reveal a tribute to his late friend.
His mum, who lives in Central Devonshire, Bermuda, where Wells played for local side Dandy Town, said the whole island was touched by her son?s gesture.
She said: ?Everyone is like a family here in Bermuda.
?When he scored and pulled up his shirt dedicating the goal to Tumaini, I was in tears.?
