EXCLUSIVEJack Wilshere reveals the lesson he learned from Arsene Wenger - and how watching Mikel Arteta 'inspired' his own coaching journey

It is strange that in someone so young we have already seen so many incarnations of Jack Wilshere.

First came the ferociously talented footballer who, at just 19, tamed Barcelona's midfield in a now legendary game for Arsenal supporters, before retiring at 30 from a career cruelly curtailed by injury.

Then came the young coach, who at 31 took Arsenal's Under 18s - featuring Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri - to the FA Youth Cup final in his first season before joining Norwich's senior staff last year.

But Wilshere has also had to take on the one role that we all hope never falls to us; the terrified parent, forced to watch on, helpless as their child's life hangs in the balance.
