“We had a good team and we got beaten 9-0.
“I think it was Under-12 level and I saw this kid just run the show. It was Jack Wilshere.
“Whichever side he was on would have won the game 9-0. He was so far ahead of his time and so talented.
“Billy Gilmour is right up there with him. Jack has been unlucky in terms of being hit by injuries, but Billy is in a great environment.
