One of the biggest prospects in English football in recent years was Arsenal centre midfielder Jack Wilshire. Despite his likeness to England legend Paul Gascoigne its his likeness to Darren Anderton and his prolific injury record that’s getting him noticed for all the wrong reasons. On Saturday 22nd October, Jack Wilshire completed 90 minutes for Bournemouth against Tottenhamfor the first time since September 2014! Here are the events that have occurred since Wilshire last played 90 minutes.

Claudio Ranieri took the reigns of the foxes. He stormed the Premier League with ease and clinched the Premier League title. One of the pivotal players in the set up was Danny Drinkwater, failed to miss a single game for the champions and STILL Wilshire got the call up to the Euro 2016 competition over Drinkwater.

Rashford and Wilshire look to be English teammates with the youngster swiftly becoming a fan favourite.

We finally found out! We were treated to the ending of “How I met your mother” (although not everyone was happy with how it ended.) The anticipation of finally seeing her appearance and to see how Ted found the love of his life – was just as long as waiting to see Wilshire complete 90 minutes.

This is a positive sign for English football as despite his injuries – Wilshire is still a top player and we hope that his time at Bournemouth with constant game time will up his match fitness and get him back to the level at football every England fans knows he can play at.
