Jack Wilshere labels leading Arsenal Under-18s to the FA Youth Cup final as 'one of the top moments of my career' after the Gunners netted a dramatic 120th-minute winner to edge past Manchester City

So it’s back to the future for Jack Wilshere.

He was the beating heart of Arsenal’s Under-18s, the star boy of the club’s academy, when they triumphed in the 2008/09 FA Youth Cup.

In a few weeks’ time, Wilshere will lead the current crop into another final – in his first season as head coach.

Arsenal haven’t won this trophy since that 6-2 win over Liverpool 14 years ago.

In that time, Wilshere secured major silverware with the club and represented England at the World Cup.
