If you look for them, they are not hard to find. YouTube videos of five-year olds billed as the next Maradona, the next Messi, the next Ronaldo.
Some of these kids show hints of brillance, but most are bloody useless. Like this one: Soccer Phenom.
Freddy Adu? Good, but not a prodigy. Probably 37 by now. Here's Freddy's highlight reel.
So imagine my astonishment and delight upon coming home from work today, when Jack - whose ability to date has been flashed only in the bath (with kicks of the rubber ducky) - put on a tantalizing display of future footy mastery, causing the father to swoon, future Premiership highlight reels flickering in his mind.
Note: These photos have not been Photoshopped or doctored in any way. Jack's birth certificate is available upon request.
