In a recent poll of sports journalists throughout the United Kingdom, Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been named as "The Latest Young Hopeful Being Touted As The Saviour Of The England National Side Who Will Spectacularly Crumble Under The Crushing Burden Of Unrealistic Hope and Expectation".
The 19 year old, who has had an impressive start to the season for the Gunners - and who starred in last week's friendly international victory over Denmark in Copenhagen - follows in the famous footsteps of previous winners Man Utd's Wayne Rooney, Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Man City's Joe Hart (whose fall from grace will officially be confirmed at the European Championship fixture against Wales on March 26th).
