A footballer gave an apprentice player his £30,000 Mercedes car - for polishing his boots.

Birmingham City star Olivier Kapo, 27, threw the keys to boot boy James McPike as an end-of-season present.

He even insisted on paying for a year's insurance when James, 20, said he could not afford it, reports The Sun

The French midfielder, who earns £1.5million a year, then drove James home to hand over his spare keys and log book.

A club source said James had asked him for his boots as a souvenir.

The source said: "Kapo had taken them home, but James perked up when he got keys."
