The return to the international fold of the prodigal son Shaun Wright-Phillips has got mother's cooing all over the country.
He never knew his birth father, he was rejected by Nottingham Forest for being too small at 5ft 5in, he was racially abused on the pitch. When he made his debut for Manchester City fans thought he was the mascot. So short, so smiley, dancing down the pitch on legs that did a passable impression of arms, how could we not love him? Here was our very own pocket genius - Zola, Juninho and Shauny.
