Former Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has praised Raheem Sterling to the hilt, saying the 24-year-old is the perfect role model to aspiring footballers for his handling of racism this season.
The former Liverpool attacker has taken his game to new heights as City march towards an unprecedented domestic treble, scoring 23 goals in 50 appearances, and has done it all while acting as the face of football in the fight against racism, after being subjected to abuse on a number of occasions.
"I’ve been very impressed with Sterling this year, both on and off the pitch, and he has shown that he is the perfect role model for a new kid coming through," Wright-Phillips said, speaking exclusively to AmericanGambler.
