Jack Wilshere's debut for AGF did not go to plan. In the space of a whirlwind few days, he had flown out to Denmark amid international media fanfare and was registered just in time for their Superliga clash with Vejle BK. Despite the speedy nature of his arrival though, his gruelling 10-month journey back to playing professional football would ultimately have to last a little longer.
A faulty floodlight at AGF's Ceres Park stadium saw the game halted minutes into the second half. Wilshere was ultimately introduced seconds prior to 14 minutes of additional time brought about by the technical delay, but could not do enough to stop his new team from succumbing to a thrilling 3-2 defeat. Despite the turbulent nature of his start to life in Scandinavia though, he insists the adaptation process was relatively plain sailing.
"To be honest it was pretty smooth," Wilshere tells football.london. "They were good there, the staff were good, I had an open relationship with them where I could tell them how I felt, they could tell me if they wanted to do more, if they wanted to push me or relax. So yeah it went good.
