So it’s back to the future for Jack Wilshere.
He was the beating heart of Arsenal’s Under-18s, the star boy of the club’s academy, when they triumphed in the 2008/09 FA Youth Cup.
In a few weeks’ time, Wilshere will lead the current crop into another final – in his first season as head coach.
Arsenal haven’t won this trophy since that 6-2 win over Liverpool 14 years ago.
In that time, Wilshere secured major silverware with the club and represented England at the World Cup.
