“During the 16 years we have been associated we’ve seen a boy grow into a man and a huge prospect turn his potential into being regarded as one of the elite footballers of his generation. To have performed for the clubs he has and to receive the personal accolades are a true testimony to his undoubted ability as one of the world’s best strikers.

As a brand, Umbro have been delighted with our association with Michael as he has not only been a friend to the business but a consummate professional throughout our relationship. We have shared many highs and hope we have been supportive at the lows points, but throughout he has always been willing to give up his time to support our business which is a true sign of the high class individual and professional that he is.”
