Jacko reaches the top

Post by sussexdiamond »

At last Simeon Jackson has made his Premier League debut!! The first ex Diamond to achieve such a distinction. Now lets get that first goal Jacko. Congratulations.

It was his second appearance actually! He made his Premier League debut as an 84th minute sub in the Canaries home match against Stoke City on the 21st August. ;)

I had him in my FPL squad but because he wasn't getting much of a look in I shipped him out the other week.

He's not the first Ex-Diamond in the Premier League - Ashdown, Folan, Feuer to name three - but I suspect you're right in that he's the first permanent Ex-Diamond to play in the top flight?

IMO Tomlin was considerably better than Jacko was comparing them both as RDFC players. I'd expect he'll make it in the near future too.

Not surprised after the way he ran rings around them in his last ever R&D game.

Didn't they have Zuiverloon at RB too? Made it all the more impressive as he's no mug, I remember him playing out of his skin against Man Utd (I think it was Giggs on the left wing?) a couple of seasons ago...
