The Anonymous Widower

Connor Better Than Rooney

That was the headline on the front of the East Anglian Daily Times today.

It is hype, but how many sixteen-year-olds have scored two goals on their competitive start?  Not many.  I think Trevor Francis scored more but he was an exceptional talent.

I was at Shrewsbury and after watching England last night, he’s a bit like Emile Heskey.  Big, strong, athletic and pretty nimble.  I wouldn’t give very long odds that Connor leads the England line in the 2014 World Cup.
