My Take
Carl Jenkinson's career feels, to me, like a story about resilience as much as football. Born in Harlow in 1992, he rose from Charlton Athletic to Arsenal in 2011, a genuine local-boy-makes-good moment. His loan spell at West Ham was cruelly interrupted by a cruciate ligament injury, the kind of setback that ends many careers. At 185 cm he brought real physicality to the right-back role, yet injuries kept testing him. What I respect is that he kept playing, now turning out for Bromley. Stepping down divisions but still lacing up takes a quiet toughness I genuinely admire.
