The first series of Super Mario Brothers was released in 1985, a whole 12 years before Jesus was born.

But the series has become one of the most popular since the inception of home computer games and Nintendo are still releasing updated versions of the game.

Jesus has bagged three goals in nine appearances for Man City this season and is a firm favourite with the fans, which he believes is due to his work ethic.

Jesus said: “I think most Manchester City fans like me because I always work hard.

"That’s my ambition, that’s my power - to work hard. I don’t care if I have to run backwards, or to the goal to score or get a chance, I work hard all the time. That’s the way."
