Jack Wilshere's brilliant story about bringing on Max Dowman for his Arsenal U18s debut at 13 ๐คฏ:
๐ฃ๏ธ "I said, 'Look, Max, you're playing against players that are five years older than you here. Like, don't get into a duel. Like, one or two touch, move it around.' and he's like, 'Yeah, yeah'
He picked up the ball, dribbled around five players, squared it, and we were 3-0 up. I looked at my assistant, and I'd never seen anything like it.
Physically, his numbers were a joke. They were Premier League level, and he was like 14."
