      Jack Wilshere was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
      He joined the Arsenal academy when he 9-years-old after a short spell in the Luton Town academy.
      The young starlet really impressed in North London and quickly worked his way through the academy ranks before he was named captain of the under-16 side.
      It was youth coach Steve Bould who gave him his first chance when he promoted him to the under-18 side.

      A loan spell with Bolton Wanderers saw the youngster impress and became a regular fixture in the first team the following season.
      His performances saw him win a call up to England senior team where he became only the 10th 16-year-old to win a full cap under the guidance of Fabio Capello.
      It was in the 2011/12 season that Wilshere suffered a stress fracture of his ankle which was to be the start of his dreaded injury-curse.
      The injury resulted in Jack Wilshere missing the entire season and would become the something that was to plague his career.
      Wilshere spent 17 months on the sidelines before he was to make his return to the first-team setup.

      While on loan he won consecutive Player of the Month awards for The Cherries before suffering a hairline fracture of his fibula in a game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
      This saw him miss the remainder of the season.
      Jack Wilshere would have more success in the Arsenal first-team after his rehabilitation but eventually was sold to West Ham in 2018.
      At the end of his three-year contract he was released from The Hammers and re-joined Bournemouth on a short-term contract.
      He struggled to make an impact and announced his retirement from football at the young age of 30-years-old.
      Where is Jack Wilshere now?
      After announcing his retirement from playing, Wilshere was announced as the head coach of Arsenal under-18s.

      Joe Lewis was born in the East End of London.
      He left school at the age of 15 years old and started working in the family-run café which he grew up living above.
      This spurred his career in the catering industry as he opened a series of restaurants throughout the area.
      Lewis sold his catering empire for £30m in 1979.

      He went on to create the English National Investment Company (ENIC) with his son Charlie and Daniel Levy.
      It was Levy’s role to undertake the football side of the business while son Charlie was to focus on the restaurant aspect.

      Eventually, Lewis bought Alan Sugar’s share in the football club making Daniel Levy the chairman.
      He is now the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League having been elevated to the role in 2000.
      Levy was integral in Tottenham’s new state-of-the-art £800m stadium was built, with it being opened in 2019.
      Could Tottenham Hotspur be sold?
      Rumours have circulated about a consortium preparing a bid to buy the North London club.
      Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi was alleged to be a part of consortium, led by MSP Sports Capital, who were interested in purchasing the club for a figure in the region of £3.1bn.
      Although no official approach was made, the club seems an attractive proposition for investors due to the new stadium, training facility and the fact they own a lot of land around the stadium.
      Tottenham reiterated how the club is not for sale and it would take an astronomical offer persuade Joe Lewis to sell.
      With the club looking to source a new manager with more of a long-term vision for Tottenham, it seems very unlikely that Joe Lewis would consider an offer unless it was an astronomical one. More

      The accident left him with scars from his ear to chest, something the player was easily recognisable for.
      What happened to Carlos Tevez?
      He joined London club West Ham from Corinthians in a surprising transfer, with many clubs turning down the chance sign the Argentine internationals due to their third-party ownership.
      The striker famously scored the winner in a 1-0 victory against Man Utd at Old Trafford to secure the club’s Premier League status.
      Most read in Football
      Tevez then signed for Man Utd the following season in an initial two-year loan deal.
      The transfer was shrouded in controversy due to the ownership of the player with West Ham demanding a transfer fee for the move.
      After the loan, Carlos Tevez shocked the football world once again when he signed for local rivals Man City.

      During his time at the Etihad Stadium he scored 58 goals in 113 appearances, winning a Premier League title in the process.

      Tevez stated he physically fit enough to continue but not mentally and had come to the conclusion that it was time to leave.
      Leaving the window open for future offers from other clubs, he lost his adopted father in 2021 when he died as a result of Covid-19.
      This spurred Tevez to announce his retirement from football as his father was his biggest fan.
      He went into management, taking over at Rosario Central but only lasted five months in the role before citing the club’s presidential elections as the reason for his departure.

      Who are Newcastle United owners PIF?
      Newcastle United fans had been demanding that previous owner Mike Ashley stepped away from his ownership of the club.
      Their prayers were answered when PIF came in to purchase the Geordies and laid out their plans for the club’s future.
      PIF, Public Investment Fund, now have an 80% share in Newcastle and have made some big claims on where they want the club to be in their bold strategy.
      The company is the sovereign wealth fund of the country of Saudi Arabia.

      PIF is made up of three partners, we look into owners who now own the North East football team:
      Sovereign Wealth Fund of Saudi Arabia
      Many areas with fossil fuel deposits set up wealth funds to invest money in projects in developed countries to protect their long-term vision for a post-oil future.
      The chairman of PIF is Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, commonly referred to as MBS, is the ruler of Saudi Arabia.
      Yasir Al-Rumayyan is PIF’s governor and non-executive Chairman of Newcastle United.

      He is often seen at games and has been given a warm welcome by fans as the new owners look to finally give the Geordie faithful the success they have craved for so long.
      It has been stated that PIF is completely separate from the country of Saudi Arabia, something the Premier League accepted during the football club’s takeover.
      The company’s website states “PIF is required to invest and reinvest available funds in order to achieve its objectives for the benefit of the public welfare, support economic development, and diversify sources of income for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
      PCP Capital Partners
      PCP Capital Partners Group was founded in 2005 by Amanda Staveley, CEO of the company, and they hold a 10% stake in the football club.
      Staveley is often seen at St James’ Park accompanying Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
      It is rare in the North East to see one without the other.
      When the new owners came in at Newcastle United Ms Staveley stated “This is a long-term investment. We are excited about the future prospects for Newcastle United.
      “We intend to instil a united philosophy across the club, establish a clear purpose, and help provide leadership that will allow Newcastle United to go on to big achievements over the long term.
      “Our ambition is aligned with the fans – to create a consistently successful team that’s regularly competing for major trophies and generates pride across the globe.”
      RB Sports and Media
      RB Sports and Media is the sporting arm of Reuben Brothers investment firm.
      James Reuben sits on the Newcastle United board as a representative of the company, working closely with Amanda Staveley and Yasir Al-Rumayyanis.
      The son of billionaire property tycoon, David Reuben, are the second richest family in the UK.
      The former QPR board member is also a director of Arena Racing Company, which Reuben Brothers acquired in 2012.
      This operates 16 horse racing tracks across the country.
      What is PIF net worth?
      The Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman chairs PIF, his nation’s wealth fund.
      Mohammed bin Salman is part of the country’s royal family which is worth up to £1.1 trillion according to Business Insider.
      The sovereign wealth fund that holds a majority stake in Newcastle was valued at around £315bn by Sky Sports when the takeover was confirmed.
      Read More on The Sun
      PIF’s initial £300m investment in Newcastle United shows their commitment and long-term vision for the Premier League side.
      Sitting pretty in third place in the table, Eddie Howe’s side have a realistic chance of securing Champions League football this season, at the cost of the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea. More
