It appears someone who went to primary school with Jude Bellingham has posted a number of his entries from the school's leavers book – and it makes for incredible reading.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who attended Hagley Primary School near Stourbridge, was a "fantastic young man" growing up, according to Vanessa Payne, his former teacher.
"Even then he had the aspiration to take his skill somewhere," Payne told BBC. "He's left a legacy here of sportsmanship and ambition and trying to be the best you can be."

She added: "He was kind, he was thoughtful and he was a good sport - and he was just somebody people wanted to be around."
The school's deputy headteacher, Rob Tindall, also praised the former student, saying: "We so proud of him, the fact he was only at this school not long ago - it's what dreams are made of."

He was handed Zinedine Zidane's iconic number five shirt after arriving from Borussia Dortmund and Bellingham's had a fine start to life in La Liga.
The England international has scored four goals in his first three games, including the winner against Celta Vigo on Friday evening.
Bellingham's attacking prowess could earn him a position change in the next few weeks. Carlo Ancelotti's side are light up front following Karim Benzema's departure for Al Ittihad, with Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. playing up top as split strikers in a new diamond formation.
All that looks to have gone up in smoke, however, with Vinicius set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury.

MARCA claim Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti is prepared to try Bellingham in a more advanced role to fill the gap.
It'd see one of Luka Modric or Toni Kroos regain their place in midfield alongside Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.
