A teenage black lad from inner-city London trying to find his way in north Lincs. needs consistency from someone with the talent to manage his.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get it here, and from age 16 he’s had about 9 managers in 8 years, most of whom were struggling themselves. Plus, some ‘fans’ were quick to get on his back when he did make a mistake.
Not good, especially in the early years – as any teacher knows.
Just turned 24, he still has great potential which McCann has evidently seen and can bring out at Hull.
