Happy 40th pal and you are listening to JM’s favourite LU song. A versatile and long-serving player, Jamie supported his hometown club as a boy, he joined the LU academy in 1996 and went from doing his GCSE’s to playing for the club. He began his professional career with us, making his first-team debut in November 2002 at the age of 16. He became the youngest player to score a Premier League goal on December 26, 2002, a record that stood for a few seasons. I will always remember him at Thorp Arch coming back in after his first (first team) training session and saying to me, ****** I was stood next to David Batty. Unfortunately, due to Leeds’ financial problems following relegation to the Championship he was sold to Newcastle in 2004. JM has represented his country at international level and played for some big sides during his excellent career, he is currently doing what he does best at Brighton & HA. He is also 5 games away from holding the most appearances in the league. Happy birthday pal.
