He was never in Colchester United's academy.He was actually playing youth football at Reading, but don't let the facts get in the way of your baseless rumors and beliefs!!!

I add that I do not know the Wickham family and the Philip Morant pupil was a couple of years junior to young Connor, so if someone who really does know the full story will tell us more, of course I will withdraw my comment.
