"There's no washbag...he still drives his Ford Fiesta" – secret to Tom Fellows' West Brom rise
Albion star Tom Fellows has won praise for steering clear of the pitfalls in football – and sticking with his Ford Fiesta.
Mildly-mannered and softly-spoken Fellows has burst on to the scene at The Hawthorns in a wonderful breakthrough season.
The 20-year-old is respected by Albion staff and colleagues alike for a humble and low-profile character despite his rise to a key asset in Carlos Corberan's promotion-pushing side ahead of what is set to be a second England under-20 cap on Tuesday night.
Baggies under-21s boss Richard Beale has coached Fellows since the youth coach checked into the club in 2021 and insists Fellows' professional behaviour, and a resistance to "flashy" temptations, should be a guiding light to young colleagues.
