I have commented previously that my initial perception of mighty Joe was undoubtedly biased due to the disappointment of his brother Chris not making the transition into our first team, whom I considered to be the more naturally talented sibling and therefore better equipped to make it.
Removing my size 12 shoe that had since been lodged firmly up my arse, I had forgotten one of the golden rules of coaching being that achieving success is 20% talent and 80% determination and effort.
Having seen some of the comparisons made with former legendary midfielders Patrick Viera and Cesc Fabregas, funnily enough the player that young Master Willock puts me in mind of the most is...Dele Alli.
I am not saying that they have an identical game or style or anything, just that I see something's in how he plays that reminds me of the Tottenham peanut head.
Believe me, I genuinely wish I felt compelled to say Steven Gerrard instead, but that would be purely wishful thinking than anything tangible.
