Sterling against the world [It's a Thread] Likes❤ and Retweets🔄 appreciated.
Raheem Shaquille Sterling was born 8 December 1994 in Kingston Jamaica and moved to London at the age of five.
Sterling spent four years with local youth team Alpha & Omega before signing for Queens Park Rangers, at age 10, as a winger. Sterling was subsequently scouted by the Academies of Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
However, he was encouraged by his mother not to choose clubs in the locality in order to escape the hostile gang culture in London.
Sterling was signed by Liverpool from the academy at Queens Park Rangers in February 2010 for an initial fee of £450,000, with the possibility of rising up to £2 million depending on how many appearances he made for the first team.
On 24 March 2012, Sterling made his senior Liverpool debut as a substitute in a league match against Wigan Athletic, aged 17 years and 107 days, becoming the third-youngest player to play for the club.
On 18 April 2014, Sterling was named on the shortlist for the PFA Young Player of the Year award. He was named LFC Chartered Player of the Month for April. At the end of the season, he was named LFC Young Player of the Year.
On 11 June, Liverpool reportedly rejected an initial bid of £30 million from Manchester City. One week later, they reportedly rejected a second bid from City for £40 million, with Liverpool valuing Sterling at £50 million.
On 12 July 2015, a deal was agreed for his transfer to Manchester City for an initial £44 million, with a further potential £5 million in add-ons.
Sterling went on to win x2 PL title x4 League Cups x1 FA Cup x1 community shield. And 6 individual awards.
Sterling throughout his career has suffered constant abuse from media and football fanatics most of which is unjustified. Sterling also feels that the criticism towards him is unfair and targeted.
Judging by some of the ridiculous articles that have been written by media outlets about him you wouldn't say that Sterling's statements are completely wrong and out of order.
Regardless of this Sterling has always tried to rise above the hate and now advocates and acts as a voice for those who constantly go through the same tribulations.
Say what you want about Sterling but one thing you can't take away from him is that nothing stops from achieving his a fighter ❤
I mean that literally look at him mans like 5'2 tryna box Gomez 😭😭
