PIERS MORGAN: Jude Bellingham is a perfect mix of talent, swagger & charisma

The following is an extract from a piece by Piers Morgan...

As it was Father’s Day, my football-mad sons came round my house on Sunday night to watch England kick off their Euro 2024 campaign.

And when Jude Bellingham strutted co*ckily away afterscoring England’s crucial winning goal, my youngest boy Bertie, 23, turned to me and exclaimed: ‘Dad, he’s three years younger than me!’

We both laughed loudly at the sheer absurdity of this statement.

It’s impossible to comprehend just how youngBellinghamis given his awesome size, power, astounding talent, and swaggering self-confidence.
