Obviously Wayne gets all the plaudits, for another mature-beyond-his-years display, key to overcoming a powerful Newcastle side today. I watched him as he walked towards the Bullens Road stand to collect the ball for a throw-in, with a sea of dancing fans applauding him, chanting his name, and I wondered what on earth this youngster must be thinking.
He seems level-headed enough, but even so, it must be astonishing to be all-of-a-sudden the object of such admiration and adulation, and to recognise the greatness in ones' self, which has come from ... where?
Well, I've got a strong opinion on the answer to that question: his skill is divine. Look at the gifts Wayne's got and realise, afresh, there is a God; a generous, creative, footy-loving God.
