'When I signed for Man City, ‘I can’t believe they paid that much for a full-back’, X, Y and Z. It gives me that motivation to actually go and prove people wrong.'
Kyle Walker outlines ‘motivation’ to ‘prove people wrong’ after Manchester City transferKyle Walker says question marks over his hefty £50million transfer fee gave him the “motivation” to “go and prove people wrong”.
Sustained in early September when Manchester City played Aston Villa, Walker aggravated it on England duty against Germany and the derby clash with Manchester United on October 3 proved the “final straw”. “That’s just been my life,” he said. “Everyone in some way, shape or form, writes me off or says certain things.
Walker says he is driven to succeed for himself and loved ones rather than proving people wrong, and believes some tough times growing up in Sheffield helped shape him. Walker was 12 or 13 at the time and did not see the body as the police had cordoned off the area next to his house, but he did witness the arson attack that cost a life.“Someone just chucked petrol through the door… and chucked a match in and that was it,” he said.“The mum threw them out. The mum was a biggish lady and she couldn’t get out.”
That path, he hopes, will lead this group to becoming the first England men’s side since Sir Alf Ramsey’s World Cup heroes in 1966 to win a major trophy.
