Super Mario: who is the lad Jack Wilshere?

MANCHESTER CITY striker Mario Balotelli believes he was a worthy recipient of Tuttosport’s Golden Boy trophy as the best player under the age of 21, claiming he does not even know who fellow contender Jack Wilshere is.

Balotelli finished ahead of Arsenal midfielder Wilshere for the Turin sports newspaper’s award, and reckons he was a deserving winner.

“I am delighted to receive this award,” said Balotelli to Tuttosport.
