The comment at the bottom of that article: "Hemsworth's" ... He has no connection to Hemsworth. He was born in Barnsley and grew up in Thurlstone, where his parents currently still live. Nice bait."
I used to walk home the same way as him from PGS (into Thurlstone), he was 2 years below me. So theoretically he could've been born elsewhere and moved to Thurlstone before secondary school but probs not. Not sure I ever spoke a word to him in that time but I did lob a snowball at him once and have played football with him since a couple of times. He wasn't that good tbh
My mate went to PGS with him, and I'd always assumed he was from up that neck of woods. Just surprised me seeing that article claim he's from Hemsworth.
I knew from day one he'd make it, I taught him everything he knows. He's just too modest to mention me in his interviews. Like the son I never wanted.
Passed him on the Trans Pennine Trail near Penistone just a few weeks back. Young lad walking the dog with his girlfriend who looked as far removed from a WAG as you could imagine. Nodded and said alright to me as we do in this wonderful part of the world.
