In a candid reflection on his career, former England striker Francis Jeffers discusses the challenges he faced after moving to Arsenal from Everton. He acknowledges that he joined the club too soon and regrets not putting in the effort expected of him. Jeffers admits to indulging in partying, believing he wouldn't get significant playing time, and now recognizes the importance of that period in his career. He fondly recalls Arsene Wenger's honesty and support, emphasizing that he could have made the most of his talent during this key time in his life.
I CRIED when I talked to Arsene Wenger... I was out partying, living life, tossing it off in training because I always thought I wouldn't play Saturday anyway.
Wenger gave me a fair crack of the whip. I haven't got a bad word to say about him. He tells you how it is, one of the only managers I played for who did.
