So after a discussion with a colleague, we decided the best way to ascertain exactly whether or not Jack Wilshere was, at any moment in time, ruled to the sidelines with injury was to create a website with a sole purpose of distributing said information.
Hence, is.jackwilshereinjured.com was born.
Built with love by Ben Kahan - BKDev

forkGitHub button to no longer show count because nobody forks me :( - Added "Super Users"
