Information AboutMicah Richards |
|
Richards grew up in Leeds , but was born in Birmingham as his parents were visiting relatives in the area at the time. He attended Archbishop Cramner C of E primary school and his potential was immediately spotted by the school’s football coach David Moore who drafted Micah into the school’s team despite only being 7. A few years later he played for Leeds City Boys. He attended Wetherby High, near Leeds, and was signed on schoolboy terms by Oldham Athletic at the age of 12. He made the short move to Manchester City in 2001. He also attended the Brazilian Soccer Schools scheme. Richards is a versatile player who can play as a centre-back or in central midfield, and has strong aerial ability. He has been praised by Stuart Pearce to be a star of the future - having represented England at junior levels and having impressed for Manchester City reserves - and breaking into the first team in early 2006. He is being talked of as a potential future England prospect - and may fill the void left by Gary Neville when he retires from international football. Richards came to fame when his bullet header in the 94th minute equalised against apologised to the televised audience and put it down to "the inexperience of the young lad". REFERENCES
