Jack Rudoni, Lampard's charisma and a shirt dedicated to his grandmother

Rudoni scored against Newcastle in Coventry's 4-1 win, revealing a shirt tribute to his grandmother who had suffered a heart attack the previous week.

Jack Rudoni, Coventry's 25-year-old midfielder, scored from the penalty spot against Newcastle on 12 October at the Building Society Arena in a 4-1 victory. After the goal, he revealed a message written on his undershirt: "Get well soon Nan". His grandmother had been hospitalised the week before following a heart attack, but Rudoni confirmed after the match that she was stable and recovering. "This goal was for her," he said.

Rudoni has become one of Coventry's leaders under manager Frank Lampard, who supported him through the difficult period. The 25-year-old, born in Carshalton, south London, joined Coventry from Huddersfield Town in 2022 for around £5 million. He played a key role in the club's Championship promotion last season, contributing seven goals and six assists. An attacking midfielder who can also play as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder, Rudoni has recovered from shoulder surgery and is now establishing himself in the Premier League.
