The dream started in the rain at a local academy, where a 17-year-old prospect with a first caught the eye of scouts. After signing with a top-flight club like Fulham, the reality of professional football set in: you were the fourth-choice striker, buried under veterans and facing a cold bench.
By the time you returned from loan, you weren't just a prospect; you were a clinical finisher. Whether it was chasing the MLS scoring record or fighting for a spot in Roy Hodgson’s England squad , every goal felt like history in the making. You’d cut inside, hammer the ball into the top corner with the outside of your boot, and watch the replay just to admire the execution.
