It had a huge impact on us all. To this day, if I want to show people love, I’ll do it by taking them out to dinner and paying.”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSo when she first got with Glynne, Scott was even unable to reciprocate a hug.She recalled the story, saying: “I remember one of the first times Jess hugged me. I was like… [rigid]”“She was like, ‘Are you not going to put your arms around me?’ But I didn’t know how to do that.

I was raised in a strict but loving Jamaican family and Alex should know what they are like. I taught her discipline, I did a lot to help her.”Perhaps she is judging me by today’s standards, I don’t know. “Parents were a lot tougher back then. But I was never violent, that’s just not me. I never beat Alex or anyone else in the family or did anything like that.” More

    Inside Phil Foden’s incredible rise to fame from trophies to money off pitch – and new nickname given to him by mates

    ENGLAND sensation Phil Foden has been dubbed “Fodenballs” by his mates — for following in the footsteps of David “Goldenballs” Beckham.Like Becks, the attacking midfielder is netting trophies on the pitch and millions of pounds off it.Man City ace Phil Foden has been dubbed the David Beckham of his generation – as friends call him ‘Fodenballs’Credit: GettyPhil is currently expecting his third child with sweetheart Rebecca CookeCredit: Sophie Eleanor Photography / Go PR & EventsManchester City ace Foden is set to star in tomorrow’s FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United.The showdown comes on the back of another incredible season in which he won his sixth Premier League title and scored a stunning 24 goals in all competitions.He was named both Premier League player of the year and the Footballer Writers’ player of the year. And on Tuesday Gareth Southgate named the 23-year-old in his provisional 33-man squad for next month’s Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.READ MORE ON MANCHESTER CITYBut humble Foden is proving just as savvy when it comes to doing deals. Latest publicly available accounts from his companies show his off-pitch earnings shot up by almost £10million.His wealth has increased by £4.8million in a year after setting up PWF Management Ltd to handle his image rights and sponsorship deals.That is the equivalent of £400,000 a month.Most read in FootballFoden and mum Claire Rowlands are listed as directors of the “sports activities” firm.He has also amassed £4.4million in a second firm, Rondog Sports Ltd — named after his nickname of “Ronnie”, given to him by his gran to differentiate him from his dad, who is also called Phil.Man Utd & Man City Premier League combined XIThe Man City ace with mum Clare and dad Phil SnrFoden has deals with Nike, Hugo Boss and jewellery firm Cernucci on top of his £200,000-a-week City wages.Top players also earn from the sale of merchandise including shirts that bear their name.

Also, unlike Becks, Foden is yet to amass a huge garage of supercars, having only passed his driving test in December while at the wheel of a VW ID3.However, he does have a £150,000 Mercedes G Wagon — decked out with sky blue seats — and a £100,000 Mercedes Vito people carrier.Despite his millions, Foden remains a regular visitor to the working class area of Edgeley, Stockport, where he grew up and learned his skills while kicking a ball against a wall.He is a loyal customer of Scissor Trim where he pays £20 for a skin fade, grabs Indian takeaways from Bombay Castle and often pops into Fresh Clothing.Fans pay tribute to Phil back home in StockportCredit: Matthew Pover LimitedAnd he and Rebecca shunned glitzy venues in Manchester to hold a baby shower for their third child at League One Stockport County’s function room.The ace is also a close pal of Stockport-based boxer Niall Brown and loves nothing more than going fishing with pals. He famously missed City’s 2018 title celebrations to go fishing with his dad.He also loves the freedom of riding quad bikes with his childhood mates.A source said: “Phil’s a legend to City fans on the pitch, and a legend to his family and friends off it thanks to his down-to-earth nature.“He can afford the finest things in the world, but loves nothing more than going back to where he grew up, getting a hair cut, seeing his mates and having a kickabout with some of the kids that idolise him.”It’s good to play with [kids in Stockport] and see a smile on their face. I just want to be a good role model for themPhil FodenPhil said previously: “I’ve still got family around Stockport, so I go and visit sometimes, and kids are just starstruck to see me.“It’s quite strange because I was one of those kids and was just the same as them.“They look up to you, so it’s just to give something back because I used to play there growing up. “It’s good to play with them and see a smile on their face. I just want to be a good role model for them.”If City win the FA Cup tomorrow, Foden will bag his 18th trophy of his career since making his City debut in November 2017.In 2018 he became the youngest recipient of a Premier League winner’s medal.Since then he has won five more Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, two Community Shields, a Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.He also won the U-17 World Cup with England, prompting City boss Pep Guardiola to describe the then 17-year-old as “the most talented player” he had ever seen.United legend Ryan Giggs, who retired aged 40, is the most decorated English footballer of all time winning 34 trophies including 13 league titles.We take a look at Phil Foden’s record compared to David BeckhamLEEDS FANS’ HOLS DASHTWO Leeds United fans are ditching their family holiday in the Med to go to their team’s Wembley play-off final — before flying back.Liam Cooper and Dean Fairbrother will leave their wives in their Ibiza hotel late tomorrow night to catch the 12.50am plane to London.Leeds United fans Liam Cooper and Dean Fairbrother will briefly ditch their family holiday to catch the game’s match on SundayCredit: Liam Cooper / SWNSA look at the duo’s mad dash to see the match at the weekendThey will see Sunday’s 3pm game with Southampton which may return Leeds to the Premier League.READ MORE SUN STORIESFood inspector Liam, 43, from Leeds, and, Dean, 59, a finance adviser in Devon, will fly back to continue their £5,500 hols.Dean said: “Normal people don’t understand why you do these things.” More
