Get to know Academy defender Jack Broome with our quick-fire Scholar Spotlight interview...
Favourite footballer growing up?
My favourite footballer growing up was Lionel Messi. Just the way he plays football – there’s no-one quite like him.
First ever football match?
The first game I went to was at Molineux to see Wolves beat Manchester United a few years ago.
Favourite football kit?
It has to be that blue Barcelona kit from 2007!
Biggest influence on your career?
My Mum and Dad have had the biggest influence on me as they’ve supported me through all my decisions. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.
Most talented team-mate?
I think we have a really strong team and we’re all skilled in different aspects of our game, so I couldn’t pick just one!
Most used app on your phone?
I mainly use Instagram and Snapchat.
What’s on your pre-match playlist?
Usually the boys have the speaker on in the changing room, so whatever they’re playing really.
Dream stadium to play in?
Has to be Wembley!
Which footballer are you similar to?
I would like to compare myself to Achraf Hakimi at Borussia Dortmund. I’ve been watching him recently and he is a very attacking right back, however he can do the defensive work also.
What sport would you play if you didn’t play football?
I would do boxing and table tennis I think.
Dream five-a-side team, including yourself?
Ramos, Broome, Messi, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo.
