What a wonderful interview! I really enjoy watching Jacob play and now listening to him speak. What an inspiring young man. You are a role model, Jacob! I was thrilled for you when you received the call-up for The Gambia. You deserve all the success that has come your way. I'm excited to follow your journey with Wrexham. What an asset :)

A beautiful player and a truly heartfelt believer in hard work which shows indelibly on the pitch. Love watching Mendy play for the Dragons. So thankful for Roger once again bringing such a joyful and endearing interview with another Wrexham warrior. Much props. I wonder if Roger ever saw himself being a part of footballs most endearing story with the rise of this Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 football team - Wrexham. Big up the Town. Big up the Rog. ❤

Excellent interview. Jacob has quietly become another Wrexham fan favorite. Continuing improvement. A hamstring issue takes months to sort out, patience. Look forward to seeing him back at full form sometime next season.

Think Foster could help this younger lad out with a better webcam or exposure settings still? 🤣

Benjamin Mandy in a nut shell. Works hard for the team and does the hard dirty miles really well to help the team progress which I think sometimes goes unnoticed

Great interview. Jacob Mendy comes across as an absolutely fantastic man. I've always looked forward to him being on the park. Phil Parkinson needs some congratulations as well for seeing the talent and work ethic and all he'd bring to the team.

My absolute favourite Wrexham player.

Boreham Wood have certainly missed him. We had one of the best left hand sides in the division in JMM and Ilesanmi. To be fair I would have taken the move if I was in his situation. Good luck going forward Jacob, you've earned it.
