I've just been speaking to one of Lewis's coaches, and the conversation came up about his younger son and it reminded me of a message I got earlier this season from him:
"Lenny, who has been starting in Goal for U7s a fair bit looks to Lewis as a role model - even pretends to be him in the garden etc (itβs very sweet!)"
Lewis is only U10, but this has come off the back of the weekly highlight montages I do for Lewis's teams (Lewis obviously plays with Lenny's older brother, hence Lenny sees the videos)
For Lewis, especially at his age, I'm not sure he will ever get a bigger compliment than that. He knows of Lenny, but he wouldn't be able to pick him out in a line up!
So I thought I'd ask the question: What's the biggest compliment you have received as a GK?
