Elijah is the closest I have seen to Willie Hunter of Ancell Babes fame effortlessly drifting past lead footed opponents and scoring some sensational goals. Pity Willie is no longer around to see if he agreed with the comparison. I'm sure he would have.
Exactly the words, re Willie, I said to him at POTY event.
I’m sure he was wondering “What was that old ghit havering on about?” as my son led me away. But he was polite enough to nod kindly and, as if, understandingly when I was rambling on about Willie and the Ancell Babes. Maybe he was being sympathetic in case I was a dementia victim.
Later on, bored Jens with same reminiscences. And he was similarly polite and appreciative.
Feio in one of the shitty papers stating hes open to a move abroad, that rules him out for me, as it looks a lot more like getting his name out there than anything.
Don’t want to put a dampener on tthe speculation but is it possible that his contract with us includes a sell on price that allows Eli to decide where he goes if it’s met? Hope not. 🤞
PS He also has a brilliant attitude. When deliberately fouled he just gets up and gets on with the game. And he even accepts offender’s apology without recrimination.
Might as well be, based on tomorrows likely headlines of "Celtic target Elijah Just scores in the world cup!" Followed by 100 words of AI bollocks then, ...currently plays for Motherwell.
