Who said there’s no such thing as romance in footy...?

After being chaired off in his 200th game, local footballer Robbie Allen came away with a fiancée and the four-points — proposing to long-time girlfriend Kayla Gell on the boundary line.

The roof plumber from Melbourne’s Yarra Valley played the entire game for the Woori Yallock Tigers with the engagement ring taped to his wrist.

Thankfully the ring held in place and she said yes as the Tigers beat Healesville in the Outer East Premier Division clash.

“We had to make sure we got the win first,” Robbie told Sunrise.

“They started to catch us in the second quarter so I thought, ‘God, I hope we get over the line here because I’m not doing it if we lose’.

“I’m not sure what I would have done, to be honest with you. I probably would have kept the ring taped to me wrist and put it off to another time.”

The grand gesture was kept secret from everyone including Robbie’s teammates.

“No one knew apart from Kayla’s dad. I rang him Saturday morning to ask his permission,” Robbie said.

“We were actually talking to friends the week before saying it probably wasn’t ever going to happen for us.” said Kayla.

“I think I’m still in shock.

“I didn’t believe him I thought he was tricking me and I was like this is a very weird joke to pull.”

The couple have been together for 12 years and have three boys, including a six-week old.

“They were probably more excited about running through the banner at the start of the game than what happened after the game, but it was pretty cool to have them by our side when it all happened,” Robbie said.

Now the focus can return to that other piece of silverware — a premiership.

The Tigers are currently in third spot on the ladder, looking for their first flag since 2014.

As for the wedding ...

“It won’t be at the local footy,” declared Kayla.
