Jack Wilshere pictured smoking: Arsenal midfielder finally admits to smoking cigarette, but says it was his 'last one' It may have taken him three days to admit, but Jack Wilshere has owned up to smoking a cigarette on a night out after Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Napoli last week, but insists he is not a smoker. Speaking to Arsenal's official website, the midfielder, who scored the equaliser in the 1-1 draw with West Brom on Sunday, said he had made a mistake, and it will be the last time he tries a crafty fag. Wilshere's spokesperson had initially claimed that he was only holding the cigarette as a dare from his friends, but this has been revealed to not be the case. "I made a mistake, players make mistakes," Wilshere admitted. I am not a smoker. The 21-year-old said that smoking is not something he will make a habit of. I am not a smoker so I think that will be my last one. I spoke with the boss. He asked me what happened and we sorted it out. He put me in the team [against West Brom], and hopefully I repaid him. Playing down the incident, the player responded to chant from the Arsenal fans at the Hawthorns of "Jack Wilshere, he smokes when wants," tweeting on Sunday night: Love the new song for me today! Haha fans were incredible again!
