It's hard to be a 12-year-old and a professional soccer player, because you've got to handle sixth grade homework while also playing in the Premier League in international competition against Welsh. Wales. Against the Welsh.

Manager John, on the Gaulden child

[wimblywomblys]

It was a beautiful Liverpudlian night, of course, when the Gaulden child was born and three wise men came to his home and said, one day, this child will be very special indeed.

Manager John

Once upon a time, Meredith, three wise men followed a night star all the way to a manger in Liverpool and do you know what they found in that manger? A tiny baby Gaulden Child!

Manager John

[wimblywomblys]

I've gotta get to that ball and score so my manager will cry!

The Gaulden Child

[wimblywomblys]

Meredith, did you know he isn't going to have to shave for ten more years? It's true. He's only four.

Manager John

[wimblywomblys]

They say he's 20, but that's in dog years.

Manager John, on the Gaulden child

[wimblywomblys]

My heart breaks for the Gaulden Child because he's just brilliant at getting into position but he's just so small.

Manager John

[wimblywomblys]

My voice cracked--I was so excited I became thirteen again. For a moment, I felt like the Gaulden child.
