Michael Hooper will not forget his first team call-up for West Worthing WMC in a hurry.

The 17-year-old striker scored twice, set up another and won a penalty before being taken to Worthing Hospital after a ball hit him hard in the face.

And that was all in 20 short minutes of West Worthing's 7-1 win against West Tarring in Worthing League Division Two.

Manager Nigel Seyfi may have faced a selection headache before deciding whether to play the youngster again today, but it will not have been as bad as Michael's headache while he recovered in hospital for a short time on Saturday afternoon.

Michael said: "I scored the first, then set-up the second and managed to score the third. That all happened in ten minutes. Then I was brought down for a penalty. It easily ranks as one of my best performances.

"I'm just disappointed I couldn't have played longer, but I lost my sight in the right eye when the ball struck me. I had no choice but to go off and check it with the hospital."

Nigel said: "We had five players out and I promoted the lad from the reserves. He was excellent. Michael is on the fringe of the first team and I was very impressed on Saturday. It was awesome."

Michael has fully recovered and his amazing 20 minutes has earned him our JAKO Youth Footballer of the Week prize. He received a football for his efforts.

The striker has no big ambitions to break into the first team. He is just happy to play football.

He said: "I've been with the club for several years. Now we've got a reserve team, so I am always getting a game."
