I found this to be a really interesting read on Jude Bellingham and the Bellingham family. www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/jude-bellingham-parents-dad-mark-denise-family-england-b1165652.htmlIt goes to show how important it is for a young footballer to be surrounded by the right people who have their best interests at heart. How many players move to Real Madrid and bring their mother with them? How many young players have agents telling them to go after the first big money move? It makes me wonder if there are parallels with Tezgel choosing to stay with us given the very high profile of his supposed suitors. |

Just goes to show the importance of family. Whilst it’s not 100% guaranteed, a family member, especially mum and dad, is far more likely to advise and support what is best for you rather than someone who just wants to make money out of you.

Glad to see that actually. Looks like a close family and an intelligent, respectful son. Imagine at his age, getting to move to and play for Madrid!
Would bet that they also help to keep his feet on the ground financially and keep the gold-diggers at bay.
Too many top stars blow money and have nothing to show for it after their career ends.

It makes me wonder if there are parallels with Tezgel choosing to stay with us given the very high profile of his supposed suitors. Sometimes fate .... and injuries take a had The first English player, as far as I know, to play for Real Madrid was Laurie Cunningham who is still fondly remembered but injuries blighted the 5 years he spent there And of the Stoke connection the first was Johnathan Woodgate who in his first year at Real Madrid didn't play one minute due to injury and in his second year debut scored an own goal and was sent off. He has been voted Real Madrid's worst ever signing. His time at Stoke was equally uneventful for similar reasons. The other is Joselu who fair to say didn't pull up many trees at Stoke but last season scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for Real Madrid at the age of 34 Of course I can't leave out the time Stoke played Real Madrid. It was the Centenary year in 1963 with Sir Stan and all, even though he didn't score, Violett and Mcilroy did in a 2-2 draw It's a funny old game |

I knew he went to Spain and got killed in a car crash but didn’t think it was Real Madrid or that he was 33 when it happened. I seemed to think he was quite a bit younger when it happened like his career was cut drastically short. Funny how recollection plays tricks on you. He played for two other Spanish teams whilst he was over there but neither was Sociadad who I’d somehow come to associate him with. |
