WATCH: Chris Forrester and Wes hit stunners and fans of different clubs can’t get enough

Conan Doherty

It’s Wes, alright.

From heretoforth, Wes Hoolahan will have one name: Wes.

Like Zlatan, like Ronaldo, like Ronaldinho, when we say Wes, you know who we’re talking about.

It’s a different season but it’s the same, old Wes. One game, one goal, one assist.

And what a goal the Norwich gem picked out as he was man of the match in the Canaries’ 4-1 win over Blackburn.

His assist was just as good for the fourth goal and he was integral in another as well (of course). Watch the full Wes (and Norwich) highlights below.

90 minutes in and the Dubliner was causing the usual meltdown.

Liverpool fans have seen enough to know they want him.

Others still think he’s among the best Premier League attacking midfielders. He doesn’t even need to be in the league to be considered that highly.

Then, Chris Forrester. Peterborough captain and already ripping it up.

They won 3-2 away at Rochdale and the former St. Pat’s man’s bullet brought them back level when they were headed for a loss.

And the League One side’s fans are already shitting themselves.

Alright Dons, you’ve just come from the Championship, but behave yourselves.

But the praise didn’t stop.

The future is bright.

As long as the 34-year-old stays.
