Not only is he an incredibly promising defender, but Ipswich youngster Tyrone Mings is also a thoroughly good egg. As of today, this is now official.
The 22-year-old (who has been linked with a move to Arsenal on several occasions) published an image of a chat conversation between him and his mother on Instagram, in which it transpired that the young left-back had paid off all of his mumma’s debt.
After his mum thanked him, Mings replied saying she “deserved every penny”…
How decent of him. The Southampton academy certainly have a knack of not only producing fine young players, but fine young citizens also.
With that in mind, this isn’t the first time Mings had demonstrated his generosity on social media – far from it, in fact.
Last July he bought a brand new shirt for an Ipswich fan who had purchased a replica jersey with the defender’s old squad number on the back…
A little time before that, Mings also offered to provide a couple of match tickets for an Ipswich fan who was unable to go and watch his side play due to monetary restraints…
Mings also…err…
Oh well, three out of four ain’t bad.
