      England new-boy Eberechi Eze considered taking a job at Tesco before hitting stardom with Crystal Palace

      by

      EBERECHI Eze has been called up by Gareth Southgate for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.The Crystal Palace midfielder, 24, has enjoyed a standout campaign for the Eagles – scoring ten times in the Premier League – just two years after making a move across London from QPR.
      Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has earned his first England call-up
      But at one time it didn’t look like the fans’ favourite was going to make it in the game, nevermind getting Three Lions acknowledgement.
      Released by Arsenal and Millwall, the exciting talent could have been forgiven that a life in professional football wasn’t for him.
      And at his lowest, he considered taking a job working part-time at supermarket chain Tesco.
      While it all began for Eze on a council estate in a rough part of Greenwich, where he developed his close control and quick feet playing cage football.
      Read more England news
      GUN WRONG
      At QPR and Crystal Palace, Eze has had the opportunity to flourish, playing for teams that let him showcase his skills.
      But it wasn’t always that easy, and rejection was a big part of his early teens.
      He began at boyhood club Arsenal – who he has expressed his dream to play for one day.
      However, in 2011 the Gunners released Eze on the count of him being “too small”. It left the then 13-year-old distraught.
      Most read in Football
      “It started at Arsenal. I was 13 [when I was released]. That was the worst one,” he told the Independent.

      “I remember crying in my room for a solid week, my mum telling me that it’s going to be OK but not being able to get over it.”
      TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
      A stint at Fulham, followed by four months at Reading and Eze still couldn’t find any takers.
      In 2014, he joined Millwall, but wasn’t suited to their brand of route one football that left little room for a creative playmaker.
      Surprisingly, to Eze at least, he was called into the office of former manager Neil Harris, who told the youngster he wasn’t needed two years later.
      “When I got released by Millwall, I understood the decision. I get why Neil made that call,” he told talkSPORT.
      “You could see in training and in matches that I wasn’t their typical type of player.
      “I didn’t think I would get released at the time I did though – that came as a big shock to me.
      “I thought I’d probably get another year there, even though it didn’t look like there was much chance of me getting near the first team.
      “It took me by surprise, but ultimately it was a blessing in disguise.”
      After Eze was released by Millwall he feared for his football careerCredit: Instagram ebere_10

      STACKING SHELVES
      With a career in football looking unlikely, Eze had to think about a making a life in something else.
      He enrolled at a college, and was on the verge of accepting a job part-time at a local Tesco.
      “When I initially got released [by Millwall] I wasn’t too down, as there were plenty of clubs interested in me,” he said.
      “But after being turned down by a few of them that’s when it really started hitting me. I was getting a bit worried – all I’ve ever wanted to do is to be a professional footballer.”
      He told the Independent: “I honestly have no idea what I would have done.
      “I didn’t like anything at school. Even P.E was a drag. When my agent told me I had a trial at QPR I just thought: ‘I have to get in’. There was no other option.”
      His saving grace was QPR’s technical director Chris Ramsey, who not only invited him for a trial but saw his potential.
      In 2019 Eze showcased his skills for England’s U20 teamCredit: Rex Features
      Eze signed a contract with the West London side in 2016, and became one of the most talked about players outside the Premier League.
      CAGE FOOTBALL
      Eze’s unique set of ball skills, able to dribble himself out of tight spots, was developed playing a brand of cage football – like ‘ballers’ Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson.
      He grew up in the flats opposite Greenwich Hospital, where football was his escape.
      “There are the nice parts [of Greenwich] and the not so nice parts,” he revealed.
      “I grew up in a not so nice part. It wasn’t the easiest life and you don’t have as much as other kids around you.
      Eze was raised in Greenwich and honed his skills playing cage footballCredit: Instagram ebere_10

      “The first place we’d go after school is to the cage. We’d stay there till our parents called us in, not eating, playing all day and night.

      “There wasn’t really anything else to do. But that’s where the love comes from. [At the time], you don’t realise it’s actually how you’re learning your trade.”
      A trade that could see Eze representing his country in the near future. More

      His second in 2015 set tongues wagging in the local community, as he began dating local, Erica Stoll.
      The world No3 had just split from a high-profile romance with former tennis No1 Caroline Wozniacki.
      That break-up became a tabloid fodder for a man who didn’t feel comfortable in a celebrity couple.
      But this was a more intimate and quiet affair.

      They took in 2Vine, now known as Redd, for a dinner date. The new couple were also spotted at the Magpie Irish Pub grabbing a drink, as onlookers spotted them looking loved up.
      Within eight months, McIlroy and Stoll got engaged in Paris. The City of Love.
      In 2017, the pair walked down the aisle at the five-star Ashford Castle found on Ireland’s west coast.
      Stevie Wonder and Ed Sheeran provided the entertainment, according to E!

      Three years later, McIlroy and Stoll welcomed daughter Poppy into the world at Jupiter Medical Center in Florida.
      SunSport goes inside their whirlwind romance, starting with how they met.
      She worked for the PGA
      Stoll was a keen tennis player at high school, and graduated with a marketing degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008.
      She soon scored a job as the PGA’s manager of championship volunteer operations, and often interacted with players and told them where they needed to be.
      It was her awareness that saved McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup, after some confusion over the time zone.
      She alerted officials and a police escort was organised to make sure he got there on time.
      He was forever grateful and from firm friends they soon became much more.

      ‘Down-to-earth’
      The buzz around town on their first date made it hard for McIlroy and Stoll to be discreet.
      A waitress told the Democrat and Chronicle as they left 2Vine: “Everybody in the restaurant was shouting, ‘Oh my God, that’s Rory McIlroy! That’s Rory McIlroy!’”
      But, what McIlroy loved about Stoll and their relationship was she was unaffected by that and was down-to-earth.
      He told the Irish Independent in 2017: “I can be myself around her.
      “I love that (she) knows everything about me, and there was no judgment there. There was no judgment from day one, which is huge, because that’s very hard to find for someone in my position.”

      Privacy is key
      All the while, as their romance blossomed, the two kept their relationship to themselves.
      To this day, Stoll’s Instagram is set to private.
      And there were plenty of stipulations producers had to agree to when filming McIlroy for Netflix documentary series Full Swing.
      He told the Golf Channel: “I made sure that the parameters were very much like, look, you can film me at — you’re not coming to my house, you’re not coming in my car, you’re not coming anywhere near my family, but you want to do some stuff with me at golf tournaments, totally fine.”
      When it came to announcing they were expectant parents, McIlroy made the big reveal just two days before Poppy arrived in the world.
      Speaking at the BMW Championship, he said: “We’re about to be parents very soon, so we’re obviously super excited. Yeah, we’ve been sharing the news with friends and family, obviously, but I didn’t think it was something that I really particularly needed to share out here.
      “It’s a private matter, but we’re really excited and can’t wait for her to get here.”

      McIlroy has got a lot to be thankful for when it comes to Rochester, New York.

      by

      IT’S been a life less ordinary for Nicklas Bendtner since retiring.The Arsenal cult icon, now 35, hung up his boots in 2021, following a spell with his boyhood club FC Copenhagen.
      Nicklas Bendtner is living a glam life after quitting football

      But he will always be synonymous with the Gunners – and was even spotted heading towards the turnstiles at the Emirates for Sunday’s game against Brighton wearing a retro top.
      During his playing days, things were not always so straight-forward.
      First, he admitted nearly becoming bankrupt after gambling away almost £5.4million in poker, including blowing £400,000 in 90 minutes at a London casino.
      Then, he was placed under house-arrest in 2020 and had to wear an electronic tag for assaulting a taxi driver.

      From once-in-a-lifetime trips accompanied by his Swedish girlfriend Clara Wahlqvist to kickboxing retreats in Thailand, wine-tasting with pals, and scuba diving in the Philippines – jet set doesn’t cover it.
      While back in his homeland, Bendtner has become a reality TV star fronting his own prank show.
      SunSport delves into the Denmark legend’s existence – with a hint of envy.

      He loves designer clothes, and is a particular fan of Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Supreme and Gucci.
      It’s travelling the world and pursuing outdoor activities that have piqued his interest.
      Back in February, he was pictured scuba diving in Palawan Island, Philippines.
      Before that, there was a trekking through the ice mountains of Sweden on an excursion that would have appealed to Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
      Then, skiing in the exclusive Austrian village of St Anton am Arlberg.
      A holiday in Mykonos was the ticket to top up his tan, while a retreat in Thailand to brush up on his kickboxing skills was a clearly a must.
      While wine-tasting, smoking cigars, hunting and horse riding are all additional hobbies Bendtner has taken on.

      Sweet ride
      The high-life wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t have an amazing car.
      Through the years, Bendtner has been seen behind the wheel of some incredible motors, including an £120,000 Aston Martin he wrote off in 2009.
      Amusingly, he was called “brainless” and “insane” for trying to buy a £300,000 Rolls-Royce, when he was released by FC Copenhagen and was unemployed.
      That hasn’t stopped him from splashing the cash on a Porsche Taycan Turbo S – worth around £230,000.
      However, he had the motor seized in 2021, and subsequently lost an appeal against driving convictions to get it back.
      He was seen attending his court hearing last week in a more modest Volvo.
      On social media, Bendtner also shared a snap of a glorious 1988 Porsche.
      Over the years, Bendtner has always loved luxury cars

      Amazing Wag
      Ladies man Bendtner moved on from former flame Philine Roepstorff, who reportedly hooked up with Spider-Man Tom Holland, with another stunning model.
      The object of his desires is blonde stunner Clara Wahlqvist – a former Miss Universe Sweden winner.
      And she certainly knows how to make him happy.
      Back in January, she jumped onto Instagram to wish him a happy birthday, while calling him “my favourite person”.
      Accompanying her sweet message was a collage of photos of the pair looking loved up.
      Clara has joined her beloved on many of his high-jinx jaunts.

      As travel companions, Bendtner and his Wag are joint to hip
      And last year they became proud dog parents to a regal looking Doberman.
      Could she be the one who tamed Bendtner and convince him to settle down?
      Small screen fame
      Although he is reportedly working towards his coaching badges, Bendtner is happy to take advantage of his fame in Denmark.
      Going down the route of the Kardashians, he appeared in a reality TV show called Bendtner & Philine that followed his life and former romance with the Danish beauty.
      Astonishingly, it ran for two seasons before they split up.
      Bendtner then teamed up with Amazon Prime to present Nicolas Pranker – a show where he went undercover to prank mates and members of the public.
      One hilarious moment saw the funny man convince someone off the street to help him steal a TV.
      Bendtner has launched his own prank show on Amazon Prime in Denmark

      Game boy
      During lockdown, and with his career at a crossroads, Bendtner turned to gaming.
      He said it gave him a connection with the outside world, but it also prompted him to set up a business.
      His addiction to Counter-Strike influenced a decision to set up his Prosapia eSport team.
      Bendtner said: “When the coronavirus came and I was bound by isolation, I started playing Counter-Strike.
      “It gave me a sense of connection to the outside world.  My knowledge and interest started to grow.
      “I learned about the esports industry, and the impact it has on young people who are working very hard to reach the top.

      “That’s why I founded Prosapia eSport, so that my employees and I can help young and promising talent reach their goals.
      “But most importantly, the Counter-Strike game brings me joy.”
      After finding solace in video games during lockdown, Bendtner launched a eSports team
