Championship Letters 7: Raheem Sterling as Pip
Championship Letters 7: Raheem Sterling as Pip
Fifteen year old Raheem Sterling’s plucking from QPR’s ranks by mighty Liverpool brings to mind the arrival of a wide eyed Philip Pirrip aka Pip on London streets after his formative years roaming the Kentish marshes in Great Expectations. There is no word that Sterling has ever encountered any Magwitch type characters, but the White City Estate adjacent to Loftus Road has enjoyed a fearsome reputation in days of yore. Let’s hope he fares better than another high profile teenage acquisition by the Reds, that of Wayne Harrison back in 1985.
