Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has tipped Cardiff City teammate Aaron Ramsey for big things.
Manchester United and Liverpool are chasing the 17 year-old and Hasselbaink said: "If someone needs to ask me something I've always listened, and I'll always offer my advice if asked.
"And sometimes I'll say, 'Hey, listen, I could be your father'," he added, laughing. "Aaron's only 17, but he's going to be a great player.
"It's very enjoyable, because the young players don't fear anything. To see that and be around them is great."
