Really enjoyed watching him play last night.

Saw this article this morning. I'm absolutely in bits now. What a man he is. I was going to put it in football things that aren't worth a new thread, but this really does deserve a new thread!

Deeply moving. Thanks for posting Becs, didn't seem right to 'like' your post.

What a beautiful piece and a message there for anyone in all walks of life. Thanks for putting this up Becs.
If one day he scores a hat trick against us, I really won't mind.

Wow, just wow

Wow, just wow.

I know I'm biased but after reading that, I hope the kid ends up at a team with supporters like us. Fans who will take him in, show him love like he's one of our own so he'll feel like he's home.

Some of us think footballers are in it for the hype and the money....then you read that....humbling is my only word. Thanks Becs.

Unbelievable reading that. Good luck to the lad hope achieves everything his sister said he would.
Seen an article the other day we were after him last summer before he went to RB Leipzig but we wouldn't pay the 20m release clause.

Puts life into perspective @Becs

That was so good i read it twice.

I found that very emotional tbh, but also very inspirational, he really was speaking from the heart there.

I hope the lad goes on to have an amazing career, and the Cote d'Ivoire has a new fan here.
I hope Roxane is watching over him, how proud she would be.

Thanks for posting that @Becs , and you were absolutely right....it did deserve its own thread.
