I went to primary school with Jordan, my mum was his teacher in year 6 :), fun fact he was at one point a national level long/triple jumper! I doubt he'll read this, or remember who I am, but behind Chrissie Wellington, you're the 2nd most famous person from Feltwell without doubt! So proud of you Jordan, from Charlie Wakefield
