Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Well deserved imo, for his sheer talent, drive & matchwinning potential.

Plus having to come through all the stick he's taken - now showing a higher level of professionalism in his game.

And at an age, he can only improve further.
