The Mask Of Shola

This will be the making of him. All he's ever needed to really push on is a superhero personna and a copy of Ulysses.

 

 

Shola Ameobi could sympathise. An unpredictable amalgam of fine touch, exquisite skill, clever turns, inspired passes and accomplished finishing, the Newcastle striker's unorthodox talent does not always sit comfortably with today's tick-box culture. As his former England Under-21 coach, Howard Wilkinson, reflected: "Shola's definitely got something, I'm just not sure what."

 

Ameobi splits managerial opinion as he divides defences but Newcastle almost always excite when spearheaded by their Nigerian Geordie. Is it purely coincidental that Ameobi's imagination has, like Mendieta's and Reid's, long been fuelled by the sort of eclectic reading habit which, hats off, recently saw the latter getting to grips with Ulysses?

 

Shit just got real.
