The vice-captain opens up on everything from the pressure of representing your country during challenging times to the pain of wasting money on an unnecessary Fast Pass at Disneyland.

One fan wrote: "Ellis Genge is a true hero."

A second commented: "I love Genge, an aggressive beast on the pitch, and a humble down to earth lad off it. Legend."

Another said: "Gengey is such a good role model for the upcoming generation of players. From Where hes come from and struggling with his dyspraxia. He really has developed as a person and it shows on and off the field."

"He should be captain. Proper leader," wrote another.
