Jerome out to prove point <<<< ;D
Jan 4 2008 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
BIRMINGHAM striker Cameron Jerome, right, wants to “put one over” his hometown club tomorrow after claiming Town almost wrecked his career.
Huddersfield-born Jerome was a schoolboy with the Galpharm club but became disillusioned with the game when he claims they refused to release him after bigger clubs started to show an interest in signing him.
He drifted out of football for a while until brief spells followed at Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough and Grimsby before he climbed the footballing ladder again with Cardiff.
Former Westend junior player Jerome, who moved to Birmingham in a £3m deal in the summer of 2006, insists he has nothing to prove to Town – but is desperate to knock them out and send Alex McLeish’s side into the fourth round.
The England Under 21 player admitted: “I lost a little bit of love for the game when I was a teenager. I was with Huddersfield, my hometown team, as a junior but they wouldn’t release me when other clubs were interested in signing me.
“After a while I went to Sheffield Wednesday and played some pre-season games.
“But it wasn’t right for me and while Middlesbrough came in, I didn’t hit it off there either.
“I went to Grimsby Town as well, and it was Paul Wilkinson who remembered me from there when he was Cardiff City’s reserve team coach.
“I went there, things took off and I eventually moved to Birmingham.”
Jerome admitted: “With the way things happened, I have been looking forward to this match ever since the third-round draw was made.
“I don’t have anything to prove. What happened was years ago when I was a kid and I think I have showed what I can do since then but it would be nice to go back and put one over on them.
“I am definitely out to do that. I would even want to play if I was injured in this game. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.”
Jerome has been impressed with McLeish following the departure of ex-Town boss Steve Bruce for Wigan in November after six years in charge.
He said: “It did come as a surprise when Steve left. He did a lot of work to change the squad around and then, all of a sudden, he was gone.
“But in football, you have to get on with your job and be professional
“Alex McLeish has brought a lot of enthusiasm with him and maybe the lads have been that little bit sharper in training.
“He wants us to play a bit more and he is very thorough in his preparation. We all know what is required of us and we are enjoying it under him.”

As things stand he's currently the lowest rated player in the game according to BBC! tinyurl.com/35n2aoAlthough I think I might have had something to do with that given I submitted my ratings about 10 times!! I'm sure everyone on here can get him down below 3 if we really try?
