I’m not going to lie. Before he signed for us I didn’t really have much of a good opinion about Jack. I used to think he was a typical young footballer. Flash, brash, and too much cash.
I could not have been more wrong.
Having now had chance to see him interviewed etc he is clearly a thoroughly decent, well brought up, and kind young man. A man who hasn’t forgotten where he came from. Just a decent person. A really really decent person.
I’m not ashamed to admit he’s making me revaluate the way I have judged other people that I didn’t really know.
I’d be so so happy if he stays with us for years and achieves all his ambitions in a City shirt, I really would, but if not and he ends up pursuing his career elsewhere one day I’ll still be delighted for him and wish him all the best.
He is a young man any man would be proud to call his son.
