Connor Wickham

Connor Wickham reminds me how heavy the label of 'next big thing' can sit on a young English striker. A towering 191cm forward out of Hereford, he announced himself at Ipswich and earned a big move to Sunderland, with Crystal Palace and others along the way. Injuries clearly bit into what might have been, yet what I respect is the refusal to fade quietly -- Leeds, Preston, Forest Green, still chasing goals wherever the game took him. There is a quiet professional pride in that persistence. He may not have lived up to every prediction, but a long career built on simply showing up and competing is, in my book, its own kind of success.

Connor Neil Ralph Wickham (born 31 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward. He has previously represented Ipswich Town, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Preston North End, Milton Keynes Dons and Forest Green Rovers.
