Raheem Sterling

Post by cricketfieldclarets » Thu Apr 04, 2019 3:14 pm

Buys tickets for this weekends semi final for 550 kids from his old school.

Great gesture! Not only that they are all travelling to Manchester to meet him.

Great role model for the kids!

definitely a way of getting kids involved in the game - He has become a bit of a Statesman figure this season (certainly in the eyes of the press) - from a City point of view it helps hide the story that they have returned 2000 tickets - the price of success - ordinary fans cannot afford to follow them in all the games they are to play this season

From the perceived spoilt brat of a rich footballer to being a major positive influence on the game.

I have certainly more respect for him these days than I used to have, it does make me wonder how much of the "bad press" he used to get was accurate or not - probably why he made the complaint about the press.

Well done Raheem, keep it up.

Seems like a cracking lad. And i love the way he responded to that Juve idiot on Twitter who blamed his own team mate for the racism he received.

Didn't he buy his Mum a house and the press thought it was a front-page worthy outrage?

I believe he did, and they did.

He seems a cracking lad and is a fantastic footballer.

Hated out of pure jealously like Beckham was.

Football ability wise he’s far better than the likes of Ozil, Salah, Hazard who get raved about.

Well there are plenty left, City sent back a few thousand which they couldn't sell.

Seems a good bloke. He seems poorly educated rather than thick. He’s clever enough to combine his natural talent with listening to a World Class Coach(Guardiola) and is rapidly becoming a phenomenal player.
