Biography
Luke Chadwick is a former professional football player who made his mark as a midfielder in a variety of clubs across the UK. From Manchester United to Milton Keynes Dons, Luke has a long-standing record of success on the field. Making his debut at just 19 years old for Manchester United, he’s had a total of 460 appearances across 17 years of professional play. Luke is a very down-to-earth person, who still contributes to the sport today, and is considered a pioneer behind the development of mental health services for young football stars.
Luke Chadwick — Early Life
Born in 1980 as Luke Harry Chadwick, the legend himself grew up in Cambridge. While not much is known about his early life, he started playing football at a young age. He joined the youth leagues in 1997, playing for the Manchester United team for two years. His impressive performance led to him making his debut for the same club in the senior leagues in 1999.
Starting His Club Career
After debuting with Manchester United in 1999, Luke Chadwick went on to play for several more clubs, including West Ham United and Stoke City. Right at the beginning of his career with Stoke City in 2005, his successful performance as a midfielder led to him securing a permanent deal — and it earned him many fans. In 2006, he signed with Norwich City, making an immediate impact as he scored on his debut. After battling an injury, he made a long-awaited comeback, sharing several victories with the club.
While still battling many injuries, Luke Chadwick joined Milton Keynes Dons for a several-year deal, later earning the award of Milton Keynes Dons Player of the Season for two years in a row. In 2014, Luke Chadwick returned to his hometown club, Cambridge United, eventually signing on permanently.
Luke at The Premier League
Luke Chadwick flanked fellow team player, Alex Ferguson, in the 2000/2001 Premier League, making 16 appearances in total. He took the winger position, and would go on two score two league goals for Manchester United, one against Leeds and the other against Bradford. Luke admits this is one of his most memorable and happiest moments of his career. On the MUTV Group Chat, Luke confessed to Stewart Gardner that when he's out on Friday night in Cambridge, he'll "always have the medal on under [his] blazer so that [he's] ready to show everyone!"
Later Career and Transition Into Coaching
After leaving Cambridge United, Luke Chadwick signed for Soham Town Rangers for one season. He eventually returned to Cambridge and transitioned into his coaching career, becoming a full-time coach for the club’s academy. While not much is known about Luke Chadwick's net worth, his 17 years of professional experience have made him very financially successful.
Today, he proudly continues to inspire the next generation of football stars with the leading children’s coaching organisation. Luke Chadwick's wife, Hayley, has supported him in his career for over 14 years. Together, they have two boys, both of whom are following in his footsteps and breaking into the football scene.
Speaking Out About Mental Health in the Limelight
Looking back on his many years as a midfielder, Luke Chadwick has spoken with pride about his career and his love of football. Recently, he’s spoken out about how he managed his mental health as a football star who was thrust into the spotlight at such a young age.
Luke Chadwick discussed how his mental health was affected by relentless abuse in the media, and how tough it was for him at the time. The BBC TV programme They Think It’s All Over made fun of his appearance — pointing out spots on his face or teeth sticking out. These attacks on his physical appearance affected him deeply as a young player, devastating his self-esteem. After advocating for his mental wellbeing, he received an apology from the show’s former hosts Nick Hancock and Gary Lineker.

FAQs
No, we will never process the payment until the order has been completed. When you initially book your video message, a hold for the total amount is placed on your account. This is only processed and authorised once the celebrity has completed the order. If it is not completed for any reason, your money will be released back to you.
You can choose a package based on what you are after.
Shout-out: If you want the talent to give you or someone else a shout-out and the video is for personal use (including as a gift for someone) then you should select the ‘shout out’ package.
Performance package: If you want the talent to carry out a performance, for example, to sing a particular song, and it is still for personal use, then please select the ‘performance’ package.
Business shout-out: If you are a business and would like either of the above, for an endorsement or congratulate an employee then select either the ‘business shout out’ or ‘business performance’ package.
Thrillz live: Select this package to meet your favourite celebrity in real life or virtually via Zoom for up to 20 minutes.
We urge you to triple-check your instructions before placing your order. But we’re only human, so if you identify an error in your instructions or would like to change them, please contact the Thrillz support team via our email support@thrillz.co.uk. Please note, the team will only be able to amend your booking if the celebrity has not yet completed your video request and within 24-hours of your purchase.
Celebrities have seven days to complete each order from the date of your booking. Although they complete the videos much quicker. If your request isn’t completed within that period, it will expire and you will receive an email notification from Thrillz. The temporary hold charge on your debit/credit card will be released.
