Obviously living in Portugal, I did not see the Leicester match but listened on the radio and have seen the 18 minutes of highlights and the interview with Joe on City's I-Player.
All things considered this must be one of the best debuts by an Academy member for a long time. I was especially impressed with his post match interview - quiet, thoughtful, but with a strong determination to do well in the long term and not to be carried away with his debut. Especially his reply to question about nerves when told he would be playing, he said it is what I've prepared for during my ten years at City.
I forecast a future City captain so long as we treat him well. How about the youngest captain since Geoff Merrick? Best wishes for your future career Joe.
