Here we have Alphonso Boyle Davies, who currently plays for Bayern Munchen, in Germany.
He is here for two reasons. Firstly, because he is an ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency. And secondly because he is also a migrant, born on November 2nd, 2000, in Buduburam, Ghana, to parents who were already refugees from their native Liberia, Then, when he was five years old, they relocated to Edmonton in Canada, where he, and maybe his parents, gained their Canadian citizenship in July 2017.
He had already started playing football, firstly through Free Footie, a club for inner-city children who love the game but cannot afford the equipment to improve their skills, nor the membership to any other clubs. Also provided by the scheme is free transport to their games. Because of this, his talent grew, and was eventually spotted by local club Edmonton Internationals. From there he was picked up by the Edmonton Strikers, and they paved the way for him to join Whitecaps Academy, the youth arm of the professional club Vancouver Whitecaps.He started there in 2015, at the age of just fourteen, and slowly moved up their ranks until he became the youngest person ever to sign a football contract, at the age of fifteen years, three months.
In July 2017 he became the youngest ever player in the Canadian national soccer team. After that, he broke many records, youngest player to score a goal, both in the league, with the Vancouver Whitecaps, plus internationally, and at World Cup level.
His first card was issued in 2018, by Chevron, who were the official petrol station of the Vancouver Whitecaps - however there is an error on the card, for his birth date is given as 11/02.00, which is incorrect.
Our set is given as 270 cards but there are only 135 cards in the base set, the others are kind of subsets, "Max Power", eighteen cards featuring the most powerful players and giving their body mass index - "Supersonic", twenty-seven cards of the fastest players - and "Winner", eighteen cards of the players with the most trophies, whether that be league or international.
In addition there are holograms, and five parallel sets which are each a different colour, blue, green, gold, purple and red - these are additional to the 270 cards quoted,
And, by the way, our man also appears elsewhere in this base set - as card 160, on his own - and card 233, where he is teamed with Jamal Musiala.
