I think I heard about this guy. Did he not still have a bullet in his leg after being shot as a child or something? or was that someone else? :confused:

Yep that was him

Here is a interview with him, not very good translated cuz it was done by www.freetranslation.com

HENGELO - By FC Twente comes the topscorer with the train to the club and than can the event that you come to sit on station Almelo fixed. That with difficulty as you are an appointment have, but the fast drummed up friend with driver's license brings relief. Collins John arrives then also somewhat overflow on the training complex in Hengelo, but that is him forgive: he is yet but a day 18 year and can the world now pace per car be to explore.

He has since short an apartment in Enschede, but John comes just at its mother in Nijverdal from here. ‘I come home yet quite often. Live and live in you an is best difficult. At home is it pleasant with my sister and brothers and there always is also a Mom that loves me. Now that I stand for the first time on own bones and that is get used.’

He is young adult, just 18, and now all basis player by FC Twente. It goes quick if in a flash. Can mind and bones the tempo yet well keep up? He is yet well the same boy of pakweg two years ago? ‘I have tremendously been changed’he admits. ‘Only then well on a positive manner. I became calmer and that pace also there me. This is my were personality. Nobody must think that I ever want to float. If I in the city run and someone call: hé Collins’, than will I buy head never turn. At men that that do have I an enormous hackle.’ That attitude flows according to him forward from its ink black past. ‘I have awful things experienced and terrible things seen

(John lost its father in the civil war of Liberia and fled with its mother, sister and brothers to the Netherlands, reason.) And after such experiences you learn put into perspective and the relative of the life see.’

Over that tragic events he has in the media always frank talk. Only now is the moment come that he holds that memories only yet but for itself. ‘Studio Play a sport has me again approached together with gentlemen peat bog-player Antonio Correira (originating from Angola, reason.) to come talk our past from now. But I think that I afbel. I have my story all a turn on Tv told, it becomes time that the men it now once over the voetballer John be to have.’

For also about that enough over is to be told. It goes well with the promise of Twente, but really remains the unrest from in bubble. He is young and impatient. It can yet better yet more fast, he finds. ‘I saw Wesley Sneijder Saturday in the Dutch team... fantastic, as good. I have in the Dutch youth teams always with him and with boys as De Young and Van Persie played and for my feeling was I nothing less. That boys become quite fast better much because they toppers round self off have. I think that I also a better piece had been than I at a topclub had played. Only good, I must hard remain work my head with it hold and then comes it with me also well good. For I know that I the qualities have, in such a way is the way yet long. But it lies normally at myself and at nobody otherwise.’

He saw just ago yet a list in the paper with thereupon the peaks that seen became all as the successors of Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink. They fail piece for to pieces. ‘I have myself hallow resolved that I not in that row in the right place will come’, says he. ‘I stand now on the right-hand side, and that find I not awful, for I am cheerfully that I play. But in the future I want the number 9 of Twente become.’

Its feeling is good the trust present. ‘Till for shorten was I as nervous as I play...Short ago yet, at home against RKC...not normal. Now that I feel me well and am I liberated. If I tomorrow against Groningen play i feel like : give me that ball

Nice translation:p ;) BTW he is indeed a big talent. I hope he will come to PSV when Kezman leaves:p

But is he as good as John Collins?

yeah, Bruggink and Vennegoor of Hesselink aren't what you call the best, although I think VoH should play together with Kezman as striker instead of Park behind Kezman

I think they should drop De Jong and play Vennegoor at his position, he has such strenght.

He is one of the best headers at the moment in the HCE.

Twente should have never sold him though he is such a good player, i think it is really dumb that P$V doesn't use him that much, and JVoH is a good player, so is Bruggink, but they rather see Korean players in Eindhoven that Dutch stars, cuz those Koreans are much more involved with the asian merchandise.

I hate that, those Koreans they got ain't bring nothing new to the team

Exactly what I hate about PSV right now, playing those Koreans who are on MVV level:kader:
