Bournemouth midfielder Jack Wilshere makes embarrassing mistake in TV interview as he FORGETS his own age

Bournemouth midfielder Jack Wilshere suffered an embarrassing gaffe in a television interview this week - when he incredibly managed to forgot his own age.

The on-loan Arsenal star, who turned 25 on New Year's Day, was speaking to Sky Sports when he noted: 'I've started to realise I'm not that young any more. You know, I'm 24.'

Aside from the fact that 24 is most definitely still young - even in footballer terms - Wilshere received plenty of light-hearted abuse on social media after his mistake.

Indeed, perhaps his struggles with injuries over the last few seasons have stunted his progress; he has certainly played much less Premier League football than most players his age.
